Description
Delicious individual pies which are perfect for supper, lunch or a picnic. These contain steak & onions cooked in good quality ale with a stilton cheese & mashed potato topping, instead of the usual pastry. My own invention which is requested regularly now; this recipe was born out of left over mashed potato, stewed steak in ale and the dried up end pieces of some stilton cheese! Here i have given instructions for my basic steak in ale casserole, but have assumed that you will know how to make mashed potatoes – i have also suggested frozen shortcrust pastry for ease! Serve these pies with chips, more mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables….and don't forget the pint of ale to accompany them! "british open top" is a play on words, based on the british open top mini car i used to have when i was a student….no pastry tops here you see!!
