Look up recipes for clam pie, it’s common in New England.

Fillings can be just about anything:
- onions, ground beef, peas, potatoes
- samosa-type of filling (spiced potatoes and peas)
- various veggies (leeks, butternut squash, mushrooms)
- curried chicken
- spinach, feta, onions, and dill

I remember these kind of pies from GBBO…do you have recipes?

What are your favorites, OP? Please share your recipes.

I made a steak pie this way:
Cover stew meat in flour. Brown it in hot olive oil. Put in crock pot with slice carrots, cubes potatos, chopped onion and minced garlic. Thyme if you have it. Mushroom if you want. Cover with a can of guiness plus water if that doesn’t cover it, cook in crick pot until meat is tender. Drain it and put it in the pie shell, cover and bake. You can take some of what you drain and boil it down for gravy if the meat seems too dry.

I also make a rotation of hand pies or empanadas that contain:
— mushrooms sautéed with onion, garlic and thyme, mixed with some shredded mancheho
— black beans with cumin, garlic powder, and shredded mozarella
— corn with Trader Joe’s everything but elite seasoning with mozarella, Gouda or Machego
The mushroom are my favorite but not all my kids eat mushrooms.

And of course there’s always quiche.

My grandmother made a pie that had a bread crust like pizza and it was filled with spinach and ricotta and maybe raisins but I don’t have that recipe. My father described it to me. If anyone has the recipe, let me know! Although I’m confident my kids wouldn’t eat it.

I do love a good spanakopita pie!

I love this Max Miller meat pie video. Tasting History is so much fun.

For a British-style pie, you will want to make a hot water crust. I love this type of crust as it is sturdy and easy to work with. Use a recipe like this: https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/hot-water-pastry-recipe

My UK family says they love Jamie Oliver's fish pie. I don't have the recipe.

Check the British bake off recipes. They make a ton of them!

When I lived in Chicago, this was my favorite place for pie: https://www.amazon.com/Hoosier-Mama-Book-Pie-Techniques/dp/1572841435/

This is easy. You need a good crust, bottom and top, or just bottom if you want to pipe potato on top instead. Blind bake the bottom crust. And add any combination of cooked meat, veggies and sauce/gravy.

I have a thing for a pie with braised beef, petite onion, pea, carrots and maybe potatoes. I don't have a recipe because I just kind of throw it together. Whenever I make a braised beef -- pot roast or hungarian goulash I make a lot of it and end up freezing beef. That frozen beef usually ends up in a pie. But you could do it with nicely seasoned browned ground beef as well. Frozen peas and onions can go in frozen, but any other veggies should be sauteed a bit before going into the pie to make sure they are cooked enough.

Yum. I'll be following this thread. The only savory pie I make is a pot pie; I'm looking for new ideas too.

We love savory pies and I am always on the lookout for more recipes. Any recommendations, especially for cookbooks? I’d be particularly interested in recipes for British style savory pies, since they make a lot more of them than Americans do.
