Steak & Cheese Pie

Whilst out for a glass of wine with my good pal from New Zealand, she told me about Steak & Cheese Pie's which she had back home. She spoke of them like a national legend, and the description made my mouth water a little and my belly grumble!

So I googled them and found a few recipes, most of which seemed to be the same, one of the main ingredients being a tin of tomato soup. The website I finally settled on is from a company called Woolworth's, according to my friend they are a Supermarket and not like our UK Woolworth's.

I was extremely proud of myself when I told her that I had made her home pie, and how great it was. It was really good, so many favourite combinations - pastry & Steak, Steak & Mushrooms, Tomatoe & cheese, cheese & steak, cheese & Pastry........ I could go on. However, on discussing it, she doesn't remember the "pie juice" being tomatoey, but more gravy like :( Bugger!

I will make her one and she can tell me if its traditional or not, either way it was divine and ever-so-slightly-naughty :) So good Mr H nearly proposed. (My original intention was to take her a slice but I ended up with none left as he scoffed the lot!)

Attached is the link to the recipe and a picture of my one :)
