Prep 25 min Cook 45 min Difficulty 2/5

Cheesy Bacon & Beef Spinach Pie shared via Recipe Finder. Prep 25 min, cook 45 min. Ingredients: 250 g plain flour, 200 g streaky bacon, 150 g fresh spinach, 150 g cheese block.

Ingredients

  • 250 g plain flour
  • 200 g streaky bacon
  • 150 g fresh spinach
  • 150 g cheese block
  • 400 g minced/ground beef

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Make a quick pastry by combining 250 g plain flour with about 100 g cold butter (or 60–80 ml oil) and ~60 ml cold water, rubbing until a crumbly dough forms, then bring together and chill 15 minutes.
  3. Slice 200 g streaky bacon into lardons and fry in a pan until golden and slightly crisp; drain excess fat.
  4. Add 400 g minced beef to the bacon, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through; drain any excess fat.
  5. Rinse and roughly chop 150 g fresh spinach, then add to the beef mixture and cook briefly until wilted; remove from heat.
  6. Grate or finely chop 150 g cheese block and stir most into the hot beef-spinach mix, reserving a handful for topping.
  7. Roll out chilled pastry on a floured surface to fit a pie dish, keeping some pastry for a lid or lattice.
  8. Line the pie dish with pastry, fill with the beef, bacon, spinach and cheese mixture, and sprinkle reserved cheese on top.
  9. Cover with pastry lid or lattice, seal edges and trim excess, then brush the top with a little milk or beaten egg for color.
  10. Bake for 30–40 minutes until pastry is golden and filling is bubbling; rest 10 minutes before serving.
