When I was a kid, I was a very fussy eater, a bit strange seeing as I can now eat for England. Always hungry am I, and I'll now eat 'almost' anything going.

My mate Jacky's mum Doreen used to make corned beef and baked bean pie, and I would eat that and I loved it.

Corned beef is still relatively cheap; you can also use it to make corned beef hash.

When I went there, I sometimes stayed overnight. Jacky and I would chat all night long and hardly get any sleep at all.

By the way, Doreen isn't an actual aunt of mine; she and my mum are really good friends and have been since they were kids. I just always called her aunt, as you do when you're a kid.

The only other thing I would eat was Bird's Eye cod balls with chips, yes indeed, that's what they were called! 😂

Pieces of cod in a batter that was round in shape, so cod balls are what they were called.

Errr, before you ask - no, they don't sell them anymore with a name like that! 😀

Actually, I've just Googled it and they changed the name to Crispy Fish Bites, but they've made them an oval shape rather than round like a ball!

Recipe Top Tip!

This is one of those recipes that really does need a beef OXO cube; nothing else will do! Knorr stock cubes don't crumble very well, so you'd end up with lumps of stock cube in your pie.  

Ingredients

• 2 x 500g blocks of ready-made pastry - shortcrust
• 330g tin of corned beef
• 420g tin of Heinz baked beans

Corned Beef and Baked Bean Pie

A cheap, easy and filling meal when served with mash.

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 40 MinTotal time: 50 Min

Ingredients

• 2 x 500g blocks of ready-made shortcrust pastry
• 330g tin of corned beef
• 420g (14oz) can of Heinz baked beans
• 1 small brown onion - peeled and very thinly sliced
• 1 OXO cube - beef
• a little milk

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F or Gas 6

1. Roll each of your pastry blocks out to about 4mm thick - one to cover the bottom and one to cover the top of a shallow pie dish.
2. Leave the pastry to rest for about five minutes, and it won't shrink as much when it's cooking.
3. Lightly butter the pie dish and cover the bottom with one sheet of the pastry. Mine's about 25cm (10 inches) round. Trim the pastry around the dish.
4. Tip the corned beef into a bowl and mash with a fork, and then spoon it into the pie dish.
5. Now evenly pour the whole tin of baked beans over, including the juice. Avoid cheap beans as they have too much juice and your pie will be horrid.
6. Sprinkle the very thinly sliced onions on top of the corned beef and crumble a beef OXO cube very finely over the top of that. Knorr cubes don't crumble well.
7. Wet the edge of the pastry and cover with the other sheet, pressing down with a fork to seal it all around.
8. Trim the excess pastry off and make a little hole in the middle of the pie. Brush with milk and pop it in the oven for about 35 to 40 minutes.
9. Serve with mashed potatoes, and you can make a bit of gravy if you fancy it.
