Getting it Done:

Small amount of oil in pot.
Brown chunked onion and add mince
Cook until brown.
Stir in 2 Tablespoons of Stock, or about a cup and a half if you are using liquid (No idea really)>
Let simmer, then sprinkle cornflour (approx 1 Tbs) over mince and lid it, add desired amount of water to create sauce effect
Meanwhile… back at the kitchen bench:
Place your frozen Puffed pastry on the counter to thaw enough for it to be malleable.
Use your circle shaped items to cut your pie bottoms and tops (Is their official words and items for this? (Please let me know, that would be helpful)
Line Pie tray with Pie Bottoms. Fill them about 2/3rds with mince
Sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle bacon over the cheese
Add the lids
Press the lids into the bottoms with a fork.
Place them into the often and watch them.
Take them out when they are golden brown or the lids have risen up like the Tower of Pisa.

Accompanying Beverages:

Water, you wont need anymore salt or calories with this meal

NB: Don’t put salt in these like I did the first time. The bacon and stock already ads enough salt without additional required.
