I was aware puff pastry wasn't the optimum way to go, but thought getting people on the meat pie train would be possible only by making the process approachable by someone without too much work. Still, I'd love a proper recipe if you have one. As for filling, I think that's actually a stock photo the paper ran when I originally published my article about meat pies. Mine does run a bit freeer that the one pictured. Thanks again, and please feel free to send a recipe. Thanks for the feedback Nigel.

This recipe is better than most but still not a proper Aussie meat pie. Puff pastry in a proper Aussie meat pie is sacrilege. Both the top and bottom crust should be made of a short pastry made with lard, and only lard, no vegetable shortening, butter etc. The filling should also be looser; loose enough so that if the pie is sliced the meat slowly oozes from the casing.

I really love meat based food, and I find these images quite hunger generating. I recently had some bad experiences why cooking, and I could not understand why I wasn't feeling that well. I always liked going after recipes, and cooking dishes and dishes, and I recently bought a teflon pan which found quite easy to clean and use. After some medical exams, and analisis, I found out that the problem was generated from a quite unexpected source! After researching some aspects, I found out that teflon contains a chemical called per-flouro-octanoid-acid also known as PFOA, which can cause cancer. If you over heat teflon coated pans, to 260 degrees Celsius, you get the risk of releasing that chemical...and this is a risk not worth taking. So although teflon coated pans are easier to use, they imply high risks on our health...so it is advised that they be used properly. So I want to warn you all, that no matter the dish, even indian dishes such as fish curry, garlic prawn curry, dahiwali chicken curry it is important to be very carefull when using teflon pans.

The taste was fine, but it wasn't as pretty or as flaky as the other stuff. (Maybe egg wash it all?) And since the dough came pre-cut in a circle, it was hard to cut into quarters and fold over the meat like a turnover... hard to make a triangle when one side is curved. But at half the price of the puff pastry, I can deal with it. Store-bought pie dough worked OK. The taste was fine, but it wasn’t as pretty or as flaky as the other stuff. (Maybe egg wash it all?)

I still haven't tried that variation yet. Glad to here they worked out for you, but how did they work with basic pie dough? I still haven’t tried that variation yet.

I made a double batch of the meat mixture and may use the leftovers with pie dough to see what the difference is. I imagine they'd make dandy Sloppy Joes too.
