Meat and Mushroom Upside-Down Pie
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. While in a regular pie the filling is placed on top, in this version all the filling sits at the bottom of the pan. Then the pie is flipped over and served upside down. Turnover pies can be made with various fillings; this time I used mushrooms, ground meat, rice, and cheese. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
