                                Ingredients
- 1 pound roast beef cooked, see recipe notes
 - 3-4 potatoes baked or boiled
 - salt and pepper
 - 2 pie crusts purchased or homemade
 - beef gravy prepared
 
BEEF GRAVY
- drippings from beef roast
 - 1 to 2 cups water
 - 2 teaspoons beef bouillon
 - 2 tablespoons corn starch mixed with 1/4 cup water
 - salt and pepper
 
Instructions
- Cook the roast beef. See methods in recipe notes below.
 - Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Shred the roast or chop into bite size pieces.
 - Peel and cube the potatoes.
 - Mix the roast, potatoes, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
 - Unroll the pie crusts and cut in half.
 - Put a good amount of filling in each crust, fold over, and seal.
 - Place each pastry on a greased cookie sheet. Make a couple of small slits in the top of each crust.
 - Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and brush with some melted butter.
 - Serve with gravy.
 
For Beef Gravy
- Bring ingredients to a boil to thicken, stirring constantly with a whisk.
 
Notes
- Crockpot: An easy way to prepare the roast is to cook it in a crock pot with 1 cup of water and an onion soup mix along with whatever seasonings you like for 3-4 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
 - Oven Roasted: See our recipe for oven roasting. This will take about 3 hours.
 - Instant Pot: To save time, prepare the roast in the Instant Pot. This cuts the cooking time in half. The roast can be prepared and ready to go in 1 1/2 hours.
