Old Fashioned Family Pie

• 1 onion, chopped
• 750 g ground beef
• 425 g sliced mushrooms (in a can, not the ones in butter sauce)
• 2 tablespoons gravy mix
• 2 tablespoons plain flour
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 sheets puff pastry

1. Cook beef and onion in a large sauceppan until the meat is browned and the onion softened.
2. Add the whole tin of mushrooms juice and all, stir well.
3. Mix gravy powder and the flour into a smooth paste with the water.
4. Add to meat and stir until its thickened (use your judgement here, if you like a little more gravy add a small bit of water).
5. Grease a 20cm pie plate and cover base and sides with puff pastry.
6. Spoon in meat filling and press down firmly.
7. Cover in pastry, trim edge and press together with a fork to make a decorative edge.
8. Pierce with a fork a couple of times or I like to cut a v in the top flipping it over to make a little triangular hole.
9. Lightly brush with milk and decorate with excess pastry if desired.
10. Cook in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
11. I have also used fresh mushrooms in this, add them after you brown the meat, you may need to add a little more water if you use fresh mushies, again, use your judgement.
