1 small onion - diced (optional)
mushrooms sliced (about 1 cup sliced)
1/2 ptk of powdered French onion soup mix
2 sheets puff pastry
1/4 cup red wine (optional)
couple of splashes of worcestershire sauce & a couple of BBQ sauce
1/2 tsp cornflour
Pop some butter into a large saucepan & when melted add the meat and onions - stir till browned & reduce heat. Add some salt & pepper to taste, red wine, the splashes of both sauces and a couple cups of water to cover the meat. Now let this simmer over a low heat with the lid on the saucepan until tender. (A couple of hours is usual). When it's almost done remove the lid, add the French onion soup mix which will help to thicken it and add a deeper flavour, and allow the fluid to reduce. Add some cornflour mixed with a small amount of water and stir in to thicken (do this over heat ) . You want to have a thick consistency so you can easily remove a slice of pie to take for lunch the next day if there is any left over! Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Place a sheet of puff pastry into base of pie dish , add meat mixture, and now top with the sliced mushrooms as thickly as you would like. Top with the 2nd sheet of pastry, brush with egg and place in a moderate oven until pastry is cooked.

Simplicity Chocolate Cake (or any flavour ) One bowl, no sifting!!
180gr Butter 2 cups SR Flour
1 cup Milk 4 tbls Cocoa (or if making vanilla omit the cocoa & add extra flour)
3 eggs 1 cup sugar (can be white or raw sugar)
1 tbls vanilla
Throw all your dry ingredients into a bowl & mix them together. Now add all the wet ingredients in (you can use margarine instead of butter if you want to). Now slowly mix them together so you don't have flour flying everywhere & once it is all looking combined beat it hard for a good 3 mins or so. Now place this mixture into any type of baking tin or tins you like. I've made all shapes & sizes using this recipe. Now bake in a moderate oven until cooked through which will vary depending on the size tin. Experiment with variations like I've done in one of my posts.
