It all started as a way to use up leftovers from Sunday dinner roast in a way that my family would be happy to eat.
I just layered all the leftovers in a pie dish - poured the gravy over and then put a shortcust top on it.
The trouble is - its too nice and nobody wants the roast dinner now they want to go straight to the pie! And the word is getting out - I am getting requests for pies.
So today I have made three the small one has already been baked and delivered to an elderly neighbour whose name begins with M of course and was last seen thoroughly enjoying every morsel.
One is for dinner for my daughter and I tonight…
with yorkshire puds of course..
And one for tomorrow because my partner does not like missing out on these!!!

Those are works of art! Very beautiful - and if they taste half as good, no wonder you’re getting requests!
I used to make pies, now, not so much because they’re fattening. My sons make them though!
Thank you - they are fun to make and I have to take photos because they don’t last long once they are baked!
Not so fattening if there’s only a pastry top
True, but still there is pastry…. But now you’ve made me want pie!!!
I have a pic of one that my younger son made which he decorated like a clock face, and one that my older one made which had something written on it and I can’t remember what it was now. I’ll have to look for that and remind myself!
Oh - decorating them is the best bit - I love it when I have the time but, sadly, I’m usually in such a rush. You should get into that unused kitchen and have a go - calorie wise they’re are really not too bad - I am a lifetime member of weightwatchers and not going back to the old days weightwise - they’re probably less than most dishes considering how they are cooked - even the yorkies are made with skimmed milk. I’d love to see those pics when you find them!!
Hi Kate - what some fabulous looking pies! Anyone would want to eat them - and they certainly sound good - made my mouth water! And it’s only 6 am!! Makes me want to do the same. My daughter and grand-daughter are visiting this weekend - a perfect excuse! Thanks.
