1. My boyfriend spent 8 months in Australia studying abroad, and he said that these meat pies were the most authentic tasting ones he had ever had in the states! He tried many times to replicate the traditional aussie meat pies, and this recipe was the one!

2. I made this last night and it's almost all gone less than 24 hours later! As an Australian living the US (where it's difficult and expensive to get real Aussie pies) I really appreciated this recipe. The steps were easy to follow and create a pie with filling that tastes just like what I was brought up on. I added mushrooms for extra flavour, and next time will try cubed steak instead of mince as another person wrote.

3. We just finished supper and I had to come here and rave. Soooo yummy! I made the meat mixture last night and today when I got home from work I rolled out the puff pastry and put the whole thing together. Easy as pie!...Updating to offer a variation. Rather than make a large pie out of this I rolled out the puff pastry sheets and using a bowel I cut into circles. I then spooned some of the filling in and folded in half and pinched closed. This yielded exactly 12 single serving pies. I think next time I may try crecent dough. Also wanted to mention that I always use vegetable bouillon cubes rather than beef because I find that the beef is too strong. I also only use 1 tsp of worcestershire sauce for the same reason. Served with mashed potatoes and green beans and the picky 6 year old couldn't get enough for this yummy meal. This is the first time I made this for the kids but it wont be the last. Oh, and we love these with mustard.

4. This was a good substitute for an Aussie meat pie in America, but doesn't quite taste the same. A small point, but a meat pie generally has a regular pie crust on the bottom and the puff pastry just on the top. This tasted good, but was not spectacular. I covered with foil after the first 15 minutes and it came out perfectly browned.

5. I'm a native Australian but moved to the U.S. many years ago... I've really missed meat pies and sausage rolls and manage to gain 10lbs every time I go back to Australia. Thanks to this amazing recipe I can now just pile the pounds on right here in the good old U.S.A.<br/><br/>As someone else suggested we changed it up and used 5" pie tins to give a more authentic feel but the recipe is awesome and any size will hit the spot.

2. Wonderful recipe. I used recipe#26205 to make the pastry and have included detailed step by step photos for the entire process of making this pie. The result is a very tasty pie and one that is really easy to put together. Apart from using my own pastry, the only other change I made was to substitute the bouillon cubes and water with homemade beef stock that contains no salt as I'm trying to eat healthier. Please see my rating system: my DH, who can be considered a "non pie eater" not only gave this the thumbs up but also requested that we have it again. For a Kiwi missing her downdunder meat pies, that simple statment earned this recipe 5 stars in a instant.Thanks!
