Edited to add - some grated/shredded cheese could be added to the mince mixture to make a cheese and mince pie, as per Perfect Pixie's review - great idea - thanks PP!

AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD'S PIE
I lived in Brisbane for 18 months in 1988-1989. While there I picked up a cookbook used in high schools to teach home ec. There I found the nicest shepherd's pie that my family still enjoys. Sometimes I make two, and freeze one, and I ALWAYS make a big one so we can have for lunch the next day.

- Add mushrooms, cook until browned, remove and keep warm.

Tips:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
- Season Well: Don't be afraid to use salt and pepper to season your pie. It will help to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Use a Good Quality Beef Mince: The quality of the beef mince will make a big difference to the flavor of your pie. Choose a mince that is at least 80% lean.
- Cook the Beef Mince Properly: Make sure to cook the beef mince until it is browned and cooked through. This will help to prevent the pie from becoming dry.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pie Dish: When filling the pie dish, don't overcrowd it. This will prevent the pie from cooking evenly.
- Use a Good Quality Shortcrust Pastry: The quality of the shortcrust pastry will also make a big difference to the pie. Choose a pastry that is made with butter or lard, rather than margarine or vegetable oil.
- Bake the Pie at a High Temperature: Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish cooking. This will help to create a crispy, golden brown crust.
- Let the Pie Cool Before Serving: Once the pie is baked, let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set and the pastry to firm up.
Conclusion:
An Aussie bushman's pie is a hearty and delicious meal that is perfect for a cold winter's day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a bushman's pie that will be sure to impress your family and friends.
