They look fantastic Rik. You'd be a contender in an Aussie Pie Competition with those for sure. Growing up in the 1970's - 80's I had 2 mates at different times. One during high school and the other when I was in university. Both of their fathers were pastry chefs and made delicious, yet very different, pies and sausage rolls. You've inspired me. A very nice variation, and right up your street, is the curry pie.

[@BackyardChef]

Cheers, mate - pastry is easy - if this old guy can knock it out in 5 mins anyone can. Best, Rik

[@DavidCalvert-mh9sy]

I do love me an Aussie meat pie. These days here in Australia I've had them with beef, lamb mince served with mint sauce, chilli beef, kangaroo mince, emu, crocodile and water buffalo. The last three I was served in the Northern Territory. I understand that someone in the Top End was selling pies filled with Thai green chilli chicken. The key thing for an Aussie meat pie is that it can be held and eaten with one hand. And the traditional beef meat pie is always served after receiving a transfusion of Rosella tomato sauce.

[@BackyardChef]

Wow! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@grannyannie2948]

And mushy peas in the pie.

[@carolrosas6785]

Guess what I have just finished making mate; a whole batch of good old Aussie pies. I used Tomato Sauce, a good whack of Worcestershire sauce, a heap of onions, small diced potatoes and mushroom. The potatoes and mushrooms are my variation of the straight out steak pies. Just luv my Aussie meat pies mate. Tomorrow, I make the Lorne Sausage, and English Pork Pies which I also love. Cheers mate. I am going to give your recipe for Short Crust pastry a go for my next batch of OZ pies. Cheers!

[@BackyardChef]

Wowzer! You got this sorted. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@carolineandrews7231]

Thanks for this great video. Pies are also extremely popular in New Zealand. And in many different flavour combinations.

[@BackyardChef]

Yes they are! There is a couple on the channel. Best, Rik

[@losanavatoga5080]

Looks so easy to do. Thanks

[@BackyardChef]

HI, losana is easy and real tasty. I like the easy ways. Best, Rik

Wow, Drew thank you, very sturdy Carrying a bit of a foundation I reckon. look in tomorrow it's one of my favs, an Aussie meat and potato floater. Best, Rik

[@BackyardChef]

Aye, I've been known to be honest - folks don't like it but I've been brought up the right way to respect everyone. Proper nappy trained. Best, Rik

[@wwsuwannee7993]

A lot of Aussies call ketchup, dead horse :)

[@BackyardChef]

Yes mate - I love that. Best, Rik

[@Canalcoholic]

Just made a batch of these using red onion and echalion shallots, Aberdeen Angus mince plus 10% chestnut mushrooms. OMG, they were phuquin' orgasmic!

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@debbieradford2974]

Haha, orgasmic. A culinary orgasm

[@schumi145gaby2]

You say it, mince these days!! 😢even at the Turkish Shop 🫣 no chance of not having a lot of water coming out 😮

[@BackyardChef]

Its a shame ! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@caseykunz7800]

There's a ton of taco trucks in my town(Yakima) ...someone needs to open a Australian meet pie stand!

[@BackyardChef]

I'm on the way! Kidding. Best, Rik

Where do I get the recipe, ingredients, quantities? For your stuff want to try your stuff looks really great.

[@BackyardChef]

In the description, John. Thank you. Best, Rik

No Hendersons relish?Made in Sheffield Rik

[@BackyardChef]

Wish I could have mate - I live in Thailand can't get it here. Best, Rik

[@terryross1754]

I'm confused. Seen a lot of 'Aussie' pie recipes lately, but as a teenager in the UK (70's), I remember buying and eating exactly those types of pies (with short bottom, puff top, mince 'n onion filler), and they weren't called Aussie back then. Am I missing something ?

[@BackyardChef]

Probably a name change - Thank you. Best, Rik

[@grannyannie2948]

In Australia it's also common to slice off the top and put a dollop of mushy peas inside. We eat them with pies not chips.

[@smac3662]

Is there a reason for using 2 different crusts for the pies instead of a double batch of shortcrust? Thank you

[@BackyardChef]

Yes its an AUSSIE PIE - made the Aussie way. Best, Rik

[@beverleyblakeney566]

Did you spray the tins, i want make these but not sure what you did with spraying tins?

[@BackyardChef]

I didn't the tins are non stick. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@leohagan]

Ketchup?

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. I'll have a dollop! Best, Rik

[@pennykafai4645]

Looks like another belly warming recipe Ric. Do you have a chicken and gravy pie in your head? My favourite type of pie- they all need lots of tasty gravy. Great with vegetables for a main meal or perfect for that time when you got the munchies. Thanks for showing us the way ❤

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Good suggestion. Best, Rik

[@KENTOSI]

I just saw a bunch of other recipes, got motivated, bought the ingredients only to realise that I need to let the short pastry thaw overnight :-( But after watching this I'm now motivated to go make it myself. Didn't look too hard. Thank you!

[@BackyardChef]

Wonderful! - why would the pastry have to thaw over night? Is is a huge slab? - Just stick it on the side and it will thaw use what you need and then stick it back in the freezer - well wrapped - it will be ok. Good luck on making - easy and delicious pies. Best, Rik

[@susannehama9705]

It’s better when you let it cool overnight.

[@bullsnutsoz]

ive eaten more than my share of aussie pies and this looks pretty right to me. Incidentally when travelling long road trips down here we buy a couple of spare pies to throw cool on the dashboard, they are called hence dashboard pies.

[@BackyardChef]

Amazing! Thanks mate. Best, Rik

[@debbieradford2974]

What type of Meat did you use??

[@BackyardChef]

Full ingredients list in the description. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@irismaydenham7604]

Where’s the cheese?

[@BackyardChef]

That's your choice these are basic and delicious. I love cheese on top of the meat under the pastry. Best, Rik

[@maxineb9598]

Aussie meat pie? Its just a mince pie. I live in a neighbouring country that sells them as well.

[@BackyardChef]

Ha ha you tell that to an Aussie. Are you in the country that puts cheese in? Best, Rik

[@petertaylor4758]

You've gone down in my estimation with this video Not a mushy pea in sight 😢

[@BackyardChef]

Sorry, ha ha ha. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@petertaylor4758]

@@BackyardChef Glad you know I was joking You probably know because you're a mushy pea guru, but asda and Iceland do cheap frozen mushy peas. Think Iceland one is better about a kilo for 1.25 pounds sterling, no overnight soaking just 30 minutes cooking time
