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.

I also had lots of clean plates after cooking this but I would, coz I live on my own. It was too much for one though so I threw most of it in the bin after it had been in the fridge for two days. The phone never rings, either. But the meal was nice
Camilla
Hmm, well next time either make a) a smaller portion or b) make individual portions in those freezer foil trays and freeze for another day for a night off from cooking freeing you up to make a phone call while it’s cooking. Glad you enjoyed it anyway:-)

Just the recipe for this time of year.

I made your potato and bacon bake last night so came on to get more inspiration and was drawn to this, going to give it a go this weekend.
Camilla
So happy to be of inspiration:-)

Nice recipe! I have a chunk of leftover roast beef I have no clue of what to do with it 🙂 My English friend told me to look for Monday pie, and here I am!
Will try to do it, but probably will need a bit of tweaking for local taste (no baked beans available, I’m afraid)
Camilla
Great, hope you enjoy it:-)
