Steps

  • Dry-fry onion, carrots, celery, and beef in a large non-stick saucepan over high heat for 3 minutes.
  • Lower heat and add ketchup, brown sauce, Worcestershire sauce, flour, chilli, and pepper.
  • Add potatoes and beef stock to the pan.
  • Simmer loosely covered for 25 minutes until potatoes are tender and mixture is thick.
  • Stir in frozen peas and leave the mixture to cool completely.
  • Mix pizza base packets with lukewarm water in a large bowl according to instructions.
  • Knead dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Divide the dough into six 80g portions.
  • Remove 35g from each portion to use as pie lids.
  • Roll larger dough pieces to 3mm thickness to line the foil pie dishes.
  • Press dough into the bases and sides of the dishes, leaving some overhang.
  • Fill each case with the beef mixture and brush edges with milk.
  • Roll out smaller portions, place over filling, pinch edges, and trim with scissors.
  • Arrange all six pies onto a baking tray.
  • Snip a steam hole in the centre of each lid and brush tops with milk.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then cover each pie tightly with foil.
  • Bake for 15 more minutes until golden brown and filling is hot.
  • Let pies stand for 5 minutes before removing foil and serving.
