Monday Pie is a great dish for using up your leftover roast beef! So quick, easy and delicious, you’ll be making this again and again!
I thought it was high time I updated my popular Monday Pie recipe and photography.
This is a traditional recipe for using up your roast beef from Sunday which I originally adapted by adding mushrooms and par boiling the potato slices.
When you make something a lot you often make little tweaks and so the only one I have made since is to add a whole tin of tomatoes instead of just half.
We don’t have my Monday Pie nearly as often now since my daughter became a vegetarian but as my son came back from University at the weekend we had roast beef and so of course on Monday it had to be Monday Pie!
I have to admit that my mind wasn’t completely on the job in hand.
Having a poorly cat that I’m nursing round the clock, a daughter who suddenly had an asthma attack and needed collecting from school just as 2 trucks delivering and mixing concrete had parked across my driveway and then having the noise of said trucks on my return meant that I forgot to add the gravy powder to the recipe.
I also blame having a new laptop which I haven’t wanted to ruin by bringing into the kitchen so thought that I’d use my Google Home Mini to read out the recipe.
So although I got the gravy powder out of the cupboard, I skipped forward and then simply forgot.
I had tried using my phone but it kept going to sleep, maybe I need to adjust the settings as you can’t keep touching your phone while you’re cooking!
So just imagine that the sauce is a little browner and thicker as I didn’t want to have to wait another couple of months before my son came back from uni again!
If you haven’t had Monday Pie before I do hope you try it as it’s so easy to make and comfort food at its best!
You simply start by par boiling your potato slices and then mix all of the other ingredients together bar the cheese which is added 15 minutes before the end.

Can I add the left over gravy from the roast instead of the gravy powder and flour?
Camilla
The gravy powder and flour absorb the moisture from the tomatoes and beans and thicken the sauce so if you add just gravy I think the pie would be too wet. You could experiment but as it’s not something I’ve done I can’t give any solid guidance.

Was surprised that raw onion would go in with rest of ingredients so sautéed it first with clove of garlic too,glad I did as turned out perfect.Added a little extra 2 table spoons of water so not too dry.Add plenty of salt and pepper.Could add herbs etc to pimp up but great kept plain for kids.Was great meal for leftover red meat

The first time I heard of Monday pie was out of a recipe book my first wife was given in 1972 along with the milk deliver, we loved it, I must have a go at making it. Thank you for reminding me of good food.
Camilla
Awesome, glad to bring back some memories:-)

After reading your comment it rang a bell with me and yes I have the same book which I got from the milk man all those years ago. I’m making this meal today
