Ingredients

• ✓ pastry crust
• egg
• garlic powder
• rosemary
• tomato bouillon
• salt
• worcestershire sauce
• ketchup
• beef stock
• all-purpose flour
• dark ale
• corn
• pea
• ground beef
• carrot
• onion
• celery
• potato
• vegetable oil
• all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. 2 Lightly flour a work surface. Roll each crust out to about 1/8-inch thick. Cut dough to fit three 3x5-inch loaf pans. Push dough into tins and up the edges using your fingertips. Roll out remaining dough for use as top crusts and set aside.
3. 3 Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add potatoes, celery, onion, and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add beef and cook until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add peas, corn, and ale; cook and stir until reduced by a bit more than half, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
4. 4 Add flour to the vegetable-ale mixture and stir constantly until thick and almost pasty, 1 to 3 minutes. Add stock slowly, stirring constantly. Add ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, tomato bouillon, rosemary, and garlic powder. Reduce heat and simmer until filling mixture reduces to desired thickness and potatoes are cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes.
5. 5 Remove pot from heat and allow filling to cool slightly. Fill crusts with filling. Top with remaining dough and pinch edges to seal. Brush tops of pies with beaten egg wash. Cut 3 slits in the top of each pie for air to escape. Place tins on a baking sheet.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Ingredients

• ✓ pastry crust
• beef kidney
• lard
• round steak
• onion
• salt
• worcestershire sauce
• thyme
• black pepper
• bay leaf
• water
• potato
• all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
2. 2 Remove fat and membrane from the kidneys; cut them in half and remove any white tissue in the center; dice into chunky pieces.
3. 3 Heat butter or lard in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced kidney and steak; cook and stir until beef is browned. Stir in onions and season with salt, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, thyme, and bay leaf. Stir in 1 ½ cups water; simmer until beef is almost tender, about 1 hour.
4. 4 Add potatoes and continue simmering until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
5. 5 Whisk remaining 1/2 cup water and flour together until smooth; stir into beef mixture. Continue cooking and stirring until mixture thickens; transfer into a 3-quart casserole dish.
6. 6 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roll out pastry slightly larger than top of casserole dish; place pastry over beef mixture, and trim to leave a 1-inch overhang on all sides. Fold under, and flute against inside edge of casserole, then cut several slits in the crust to allow steam to escape.
7. 7 Bake pie in the preheated oven until golden brown on top and filling is bubbling, about 30 minutes.
