Crumble Top Beef Pie
Ingredients
1lb cooked beef, minced
1 onion
1/2 oz dripping
1/2 pint beef stock
salt, pepper and nutmeg
2 teaspoons flour
Topping:
4oz plain flour
2 oz margarine
3 oz Cheddar cheese, grated
pinch salt
Intro and Method
Chop onion finely and fry in dripping until golden brown. Add the flour to the pan and mix well to blend the flour with the surplus fat. Cook for two minutes, stirring so the flour browns but does not burn. Add stock and bring to the boil. Mix with minced meat, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste and turn into a casserole.
To make the topping:
Sift flour and add salt and rub in fat. Add grated cheese. Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the minced beef. Bake in a moderate oven for 30 to 40 minutes.
