Anyone know how to make corned-beef and bean pie?

I found this recipe on Yahoo - any use?

uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080822054614AAqnH9N

5oz corned beef
½ can baked beans
4oz puff pastry
plain flour, to dust
1 egg, beaten

1. oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.
2. Mix the corned beef and baked beans together in a large bowl and then place into an ovenproof dish.
3. Roll the pastry out on a floured surface and cut into a large disc, big enough to cover the dish. Use the pastry to top the dish and then brush with egg wash.
4. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and risen.

Anyone else notice that the next topic in the 'last hour' list is let your wind blow free?

nanny1 that sounds just the thing! Thank you! Think I'll make double the quantity and put pastry on top and bottom, as that's how my granddaughter described it.

Oh crikey shysal! Never thought of that - it could be dodgy in our house tonight!!

Thank fully no I dont and I hope no-one ever gives it to me!

Well - it's in the oven just now, so I'll let you know how it goes!

That is just how I used to make it for my kids - we got the recipe from another family. It was always top of the weekly request list! I have made it with sweetcorn or peas instead of beans, and with sausagemeat instead of corned beef, and with mashed potato instead of pastry - but it was always called "cowboy pie"

We've just had it and it was very tasty! I shall make it again! jackyann, it's now called 'Cowboy Pie'!

So a success then greenmossigel ?

Most definitely! I stuck to the recipe that you gave me nanny1 and can thoroughly recommend it! Cheap and cheerful!

Its nice with onion's layered over the corned beef before you pour on the bean's,*love it*

Hmmm! There's a good idea!

Have just remembered that the other family had Geordie grandparents, and am glad to hear about onions - another variation!

I have been given all sorts of recipes for this but none of them beats my late Mum's. Unfortunately, although I have her hand-written cook books, this one is missing. It was bliss, probably during rationing years.
