One of my favourite dinner recipes is beef pie and this one is the perfect addition to a St. Patricks Day Dinner!
Growing up my mother would usually include mushrooms which really put her meat pie over the top. Seriously so good. These days I make mine without the mushrooms as my husband dislikes them. If you like mushrooms feel free to add a cup of sliced button mushrooms into the filling.
This recipe does make two pies but it does freeze well so its perfect for making a meal for now and one for later!

This looks good! My kids don’t like sheppards pie because of the potatoes so this would be a great alternative:)
When you talk about freezing, bake first or just freeze and bake later?
