Marvelous Meat Pie

A week or so ago my mom made this marvelous pie for dinner.  It was absolutely delicious.  And. . . I took some pretty amazing pictures of it, so it was destined to become a post.  Here it is.

We replaced the tomato sauce with beef broth and baked it in a cast-iron skillet.  Boy was it good!

Beef Cowboy Pie:

2 Tbsp. Butter

2 Tbsp. Flour

1 Pint Tomato sauce

1 Pint diced canned stewing beef

2 Tbsp. dehydrated onion or 2 medium raw onions, chopped

1 Pint cubed potatoes

1 tsp. pepper

1 Tbsp. dehydrated beef stock soup base

1 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp. celery seed

A Double Pie Crust however you like to make it.

Melt Butter in a heavy medium cast iron frying pan.  Add flour, mixing well, then tomato sauce. If necessary, add just enough water to make a medium sauce.  Add rest of ingredients, stirring gently.  Top with crust and bake at 350 F until perfect.

Sorry, we got this recipe from a canning article in Backwoods Home Magazine, and most of the ingredients are listed as canned stuff.  Substitute fresh if you want to.
