Beef mince sits in a pastry shell and gets capped with mashed potato instead of puff pastry. Baked, the top softens and browns, while the filling stays gravy-based and savoury. It’s a frozen pie format that leans closer to cottage pie on top and meat pie underneath. Compared with other Mrs Mac’s pies, this one swaps the usual pastry lid for potato, so the texture shifts from flaky and crisp to creamy and slightly dense. The whole thing is designed for oven heating, and it holds onto that layered structure once cooked.
