I have a large collection of 1940s cookery books and recipe clippings... the majority being the authentic publications from that era. I'm always excited when I find a new addition to my bookshelf.. especially if its good condition and in my budget.

| 57 Ways to Use Heinz Condensed Soup 1944 |
I made a couple of changes. I used ground beef because thats what I had in the freezer. I made smaller biscuits as they fit my dish better.. so I made 12. And I topped it with some Italian herbs
A lovely flavour and a homely dinner... which hubby thoroughly enjoyed..so I will be making it again

Look like a great recipe! Thanks for the comment on my blog today, nice to visit here!
ReplyDeleteI think it's fun to make some of those old recipes. This looks like a good one!
ReplyDeleteLooks good, Phoebe. Guess it's my British heritage, but I love a meat pie, whether topped with biscuits, dumplings, mashed potatoes, or pie pastry.
ReplyDeleteHi Phoebe, I'm enjoying looking at all the vintage cookbooks and recipes. Your Christmas Kitchen has lovely recipes & pictures. I found a recipe I like Potato and Bacon, but couldn't leave a comment there, these are perfect for such a time as these. Thank you for publishing these.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting hobby you have...collecting cookbooks from the 1940's. Somehow I think those recipes would be very down-to-earth and not call for any exotic ingredients. Your meat pie with biscuit topping looks good but as a vegetarian I'd have to change the filling part💗
ReplyDeleteOh husband would like that dish. Thank you for posting it.
