I have made this recipe many times, my son doesn't like onion, ( it's a texture thing) but I substitute the diced onion for onion powder and he has never complained, I make them sometimes in the electric pie maker and then freeze them for snacks while watching the football, always a huge hit. Thanks Sussan :)

Made this mixture for our Christmas party. I put it in mini pre-made tart shells and added a ? cup of shredded carrots while cooking. Cooked the shells for 10 minutes first and let them cool before filling them. The recipe as is will make 54 mini%u2019s. They were a big hit, very tasty and had many compliments. Will definitely be making them again (already been requested for the New Years party) Thanks for posting such a delicious recipe

OH MY WORD!!!! I'm South -African and I grew up on chicken , beef etc meat pies. AND this one is unbelievable, so easy, so tasty full of flavour. Thank you for sharing :-) I have to give it 5 stars. I did add some peas while cooking the meat filling , it adds some colour and 9 i use less pots . THANK YOU !!! This one is a keeper :-)

A top recipe very similar to one I have just foud and made - better than any other on the 'net. I too am a Gold Coaster and the only suggestion I would make is to try using chuck steak cut into a 10mm dice rather than ground. It makes it munchier.<br/>And please PP if you do add cheese don't call it an Aussie meat pie because it would be nothing of the sort!<br/>Briseis, in Oz the standard meat pie fits a round tin 130top x75base x20deep mm. I always make small standard ones they can be eaten out of hand and are much more convenient.
