10 ingredients
11 steps

Ingredients

  • 8 medium potatoes (peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes)
  • 1 large onion (peeled and sliced or chopped)
  • 2 large carrots (peeled and sliced into rings)
  • 1 pint beef stock
  • 1 (12 ounce) can corned beef (cut into cubes)
  • 1 teaspoon 'daddies' brown sauce or 1 teaspoon 'h.p' brown sauce or 1 teaspoon Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
  • 6 ounces self raising flour
  • 1 ounce cold butter
  • 2 ounces shredded suet
  • salt and pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    In an oven and hob proof casserole (or if you don't have one, do this bit in a saucepan and transfer to a casserole dish later) bring to the boil the stock, potatoes, onions and carrots, a good pinch of salt pepper to taste.
  2. 2
    Simmer this for around 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the potatoes are well cooked.
  3. 3
    You want some of them to 'fall' to thicken the gravy.
  4. 4
    Add the daddies sauce and corned beef, stir and cook for another 5-10 minutes.
  5. 5
    (As it stands this stew is known as corned beef hash or tato hash and is delicious on cold days with bread and butter!)
  6. 6
    Now make the pastry- rub the butter into the flour.
  7. 7
    Add a pinch of salt and the suet and stir.
  8. 8
    Now add cold water gradually, mixing with a fork and then your hands, to form a soft, pliable dough.
  9. 9
    Refrigerate for ease of handling, then roll out on a floured surface to roughly fit the top of the casserole.
  10. 10
    Place on top and fold over any edges- this isn't meant to look neat it is quick, wholesome, family food.
  11. 11
    Brush with milk of egg if liked and bake in a hot oven until the crust is crisp and golden and bubbling round the edges.
