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 have some pork left over from yesterday so will give this a try tomorrow for dinner. Looks so Yummy and so easy!!
Camilla
Fab Ian, I’ve never thought to try it with pork!
Janice
Beef and lamb get whizzed in the food processor with an onion, add gravy and top with mashed potatoes for a cottage or shepherd’s pie. That’s my Monday pie! Yours sounds good too.
Camilla
Can’t beat leftovers can you:-)

I always cook a beef roast that is way to large and always have left over beef which often goes into sandwiches. But now I will return to this recipe for what looks like a great way to use it up!
Camilla
Great Maya, always great to get 2 meals out of one:-)

Found this recipe today and made it for dinner with left-over pork. My husband loved it! Thanks for a great recipe. Looking forward to making more from this site.
Thanks.
Camilla
Oh fabulous, I’ve never thought to make it with pork, will have to try that. Glad you both liked it and hope you find more recipes you like:-)
Catherine Lawson
Do you think the Worcester sauce is a key ingredient? I’m going to try to make this gluten free and don’t have any gluten free Worcester sauce (I don’t want to buy a whole bottle just for this recipe). Also, to substitute the flour, do you recommend corn flour or just plain gluten free flour?
Camilla
Hi Catherine, you could leave the Worcestershire Sauce out and with the flour use gluten free plain flour as cornflour has to be mixed with water before use.

Re Catherine’s question regarding Worcestershire Sauce, Lea and Perrins is gluten free, the company state this fact on line. Enjoy!
Chris Day-Coiley
So tasty, a great combo. My only alteration is making some extra roast spuds the day before and thinly slicing them and placing them on top. Crisp up nicely and a good way to use up the leftovers fully. My toddler loves this dish!
Camilla
Great idea Chris, glad you like it and thanks for sharing:-)

Made this last Monday with left over beef. Purposefully saved lamb to make it again this week 🙂 had 5 clean plates, even the demon 2 year old polished it off!! Let’s hope I get the same result again!! Xx
Camilla
Fab Claire, if you have leftover lamb do try my Burning Love, so simple and another family favourite:-)
