Minced Beef and Vegetable Pies
We have given you 2 traditional South African options. (1) Illustrated Top and bottom pastry pies. These use more pastry and have less filling but are easy to eat out of hand. (2) Mini pot pies are baked in individual containers. They don't use a lot of pastry and have a generous amount of filling. Needs a spoon for eating. Both options will freeze really well.
