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.

Just popped this in the oven. Went looking for “leftover roast beef recipes” and this one seemed most intriguing of those on offer. I had to make all of the other things to go with it, including the beans, but still looks worth the effort.
I felt compelled to make it on a Monday also though I’m sure it would be fabulous any other day of the week too.

Thanks Lesley, I hope you enjoyed it:-)

Camilla
If only I had access to wild boar!

I love usinmg left over sunday roast and make something similar toi this. I tend to cook extra boiled potatoes and mash them for the pie topping but sliced potoates look good too
Camilla
Making two meals out of one is so satisfying isn’t it:-)
Rosie
If you have a portion leftover and what would be the best way to reheat it?
Made this recently and loved it but due to the cooking dish I used the portions were a bit bigger than we would have liked. Want to make it again but don’t want to waste any!
Camilla
Hi Rosie, if you have a microwave I would reheat it in that for a few minutes until piping hot. A food thermometer is great for this!
Dannii
I am on board with anything that reduced food waste. I love throwing a can of baked beans in to a hearty pie too.
Camilla
Baked beans are so versatile:-)
Hilary
Does leftover roast chicken work in a Monday pie?
Camilla
I have only ever used beef so can’t say how that would taste I’m afraid. But would you put chicken as a sub for lamb or beef in a Shepherd’s Pie? That’s probably your answer!
Crystal
I love the idea of using left overs for another meal and this one is superb. My mum used to do a pie like this with roast left overs. She’d mash the potatoes for the layer on top. That’s an alternative, but I like the idea of potato hash layer also. Thanks
Camilla
Thanks Crystal, yes we have something called Shepherd’s Pie that has a mashed potato topping, this is far quicker and easier though.

I’m always looking for new ways to use up meat from the Sunday roast. What a delicious reinvention!
Camilla
Thank you Jemma-)
