SCOTTISH MEAT PIE
Made by my Scottish Granddad, this recipe is like a traditional Forfar Bridie (old-timely Scottish hot pocket), only in pie form. I prefer the beef version over the lamb.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350° F and put a kettle of water on to boil.
- Place one pie crust in a deep-style pie pan. Prick crust with a fork several times and bake for 5-10 minutes.
- In a large skillet with deep sides, sauté ground beef/lamb with onions. Season well with Lawry's, salt and pepper.
- Mix well to combine.
- When beef loses its pink color, stir in oats and beef broth or bullion cube. Then cover mixture entirely with boiling water. Simmer mixture for 10-15 minutes until water is mostly gone. Then stir in Worcestershire Sauce, dry mustard and spices.
- Spoon the mixture into the partially baked pie crust and dot the top of the filling with diced butter. Place top crust on filling, crimp sides, vent crust, and bake for 1 to 1-1/4 hours. Make sure crust is slightly browned.

Steps:
- 1. In a large pot, cook meat, onion, flour, water and spices for at least 1-1/2 hours or until meat is very tender.
- 2. Refrigerate mixture until you can skim the fat off the top.
- 3. Prepare pie crust and fill bottom crust with meat mixture.
- 4. Cover with top crust and crimp; cut vent holes in top.
- 5. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven until crust is golden brown, about 25-35 minutes.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Grass-fed beef, fresh vegetables, and a good quality puff pastry will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Don't overfill the pie crust. The filling should be about 3/4 full, leaving enough room for the pastry to puff up during baking.
- Brush the top of the pie crust with an egg wash before baking. This will help the pastry to brown and give it a nice shine.
- Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help the pastry to cook evenly.
- Let the pie cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the pastry to firm up.
Conclusion:
Scottish meat pie is a hearty and delicious dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. With its flaky pastry crust and rich, flavorful filling, it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give Scottish meat pie a try. You won't be disappointed.
