Beef-and-bacon pie is a complete success, though next time, I might include more bacon. Or, possibly, just a stronger-flavored bacon. Still, they were quite tasty and the crust was amazing. There are nine more tiny muffin-sized pies to be eaten throughout the week.

Also, I made half a dozen apple-pies-in-jars which are even now in the freezer, awaiting a pie emergency. Come the apocalypse, I will have pie.

A query about the beef-and-bacon pie, which does indeed sound fabulous... is it meant to be like a meat pie, or is it somehow sweet? (Either way, I think I'd like the recipe.)

It is indeed a meat pie. (My dad described as being like beef stew in a crust.)

The recipe is here (the second, modern one), though I made a few changes: I left out the rosemary and added some garlic, and I strained the meat out of the gravy before putting it in the crust, because I don't like gravy and I thought it would make my pies soggy. (I did save it, though, for people who like that sort of thing.) And I made mine tiny by making little pies in a muffin tin. Also, I used the first pie crust recipe on this page, which turned out to be amazing.

It took a couple of hours, all told, but in the end I had 15 muffin-sized meat pies which taste amazing. Totally worth it.
