Monday Pie
Description
Monday Pie assembles roast beef cubes with finely chopped onions and mushrooms, a tin of baked beans, and tomatoes seasoned with gravy powder, Worcestershire sauce, flour, salt, and pepper. These ingredients create a rich, saucy filling. Parboiling the thinly sliced potatoes before layering over the filling ensures the topping cooks through evenly. Baking at 190°C melts and browns the grated cheddar cheese added after initial baking, producing a golden crust that contrasts nicely with the tender potato base.
The dish melds hearty protein and vegetables, with the baked beans and tomato providing sweetness and moisture. The potatoes form a soft yet slightly firm topping, while the melted cheddar adds a creamy, sharp finish. It pairs well with additional vegetables to round out the meal.
