A great Aussie classic the meat pie is very versatile, make a family sized pie to serve with vegetables for a warming evening meal or make individual pies with a pie maker for lunches. The pies freeze well, making for a quick and easy homemade lunch or snack.

Notes
Pies freeze well.
Makes 2 family sized Pies or it can be made in a baking tray for an even larger pie.
Filling is great made into individual pies or party pies in a pie maker.
I love baking a large batch then freezing for later use.
