Sausage & Onion Pie
This is a great weeknight dish, you can use leftover cooked sausages & mashed potato if you happen to have them. Cooling the filling & mash before constructing the pie is important to stop the mash sinking into the filling too much so it's worth doing.
I keep a few packets of instant mash in my store cupboard which is perfect for this pie!
