A hearty, homemade meat pie is the perfect cold-weather meal. This peppercorn meat pie has tender chunks of diced beef with cracked pepper and green peppercorns for that gourmet peppercorn pie experience.

Who doesn't love the smell of a meat pie baking in the oven? It's especially good when you know all the ingredients are nutritious and wholesome. When I feel like a winter warming comfort food I tend to choose something meaty. My family like pies but I really don't like the small amount of filling in commercially prepared pies. 

So when the family suggests pies I make a pot pie. 

What's the difference between a pie and a pot pie?

A regular pie has a shortcrust pastry base on the bottom, about 1 inch of meat and gravy in the middle and a puff pastry top. The filling in a meat pie needs to be a much thicker consistency so it can be picked up and eaten.

The pot pie has no pastry base and consists of a substantial volume of casserole filling in an individual crockery dish. The top of the pot pie is enclosed with a puff pastry lid and baked until golden.

Why I prefer to make Pot Pies

As a mum, I like to balance feeding the family what they enjoy with good nutrition. An average bakery meat pie weighs 195g and has just over 500 calories. They contain a significant amount of saturated fat from the pastry and meat. Surprisingly an average meat pie only contains about 16g of protein due to the small amount of actual meat! A standard pie also doesn't provide very much in the way of fibre, vitamins or minerals.

So as much as my family may crave a meat pie indulgence I prefer to compromise by making a pot pie. The major difference between the two pies is that using half the amount of pastry in the pot pie decreases the fat and carbohydrate load of the meal. The Potpie also has more filling which increases the meat (or meat and vegetable filling) giving the pot pie increased protein, vitamins, minerals and fibre.
