Reviews
“A good solid meal.I didn’t have any suet, so just deleted that from the preparation.It came out very well.I did use a bit of shredded potato, baked for 10 minutes in the oven, before putting the meat mixture in the pie pan.I just thought it would be OK, and it was.I am so happy to give one of Miller’s unreviewed recipes a posting.Made for My-3-Chefs 2009.”
