Meat pie with puff pastry
Description
Meat pie with puff pastry is one of our family's favorite dishes. As a home cook, I mainly like it for how simple and flexible it is to make—you can change the ingredients and proportions however you like. My husband likes it because it's filling and has meat in it. You'd be crazy not to make it, really :) It goes well with tea or coffee.
