I just put slow cooker dish in the oven to bubble away because I don’t have the seat option

Pre-heat oven to 190°C

Cut your pastry to size (bottoms and tops) of your pie dish or for individual pie tins

Fill the pastry with the meat mixture. Then put the top on and seal the pastry edges together. Trim any Excess pastry then go around the edge with the fork to make sure both are sealed together

Put a slit in the top of the pie and brush with egg mix

Put in the oven and cook until pastry is puffy and golden around 20 to 30 minutes
