This pie is a real Australian icon, when made with good ingredients its great, my family and myself included loves this recipe and everyone whom has tried it asks for seconds, it taste surprisingly like the real thing brought in the shops by well know Australian companies, but better because it home made.

I have the recipe here for individual pies but I normally just make a big family sized pie for the family to eat for dinner.
