- 500 grams beef mince
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables thawed
- 495g jar pasta sauce
- 4 sheets puff pastry
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- In a nonstick frying pan, brown the beef.

- Bake until the pastry is nice and golden, about 20 minutes.
Recipe Notes
Pies are a terrific way to hide veggies. For the fussiest of eaters you can even puree roasted pumpkin, sweet potato or parsnips and add to the pasta sauce. They'll never ever know ☺
