What's better than a saucy beef pie to warm up the winter nights? This one is just that much better with its hidden veggies and crumbly filo pastry topping and tastes even better when it's devoured in pj's on the couch!

Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Grate carrot. • Finely chop celery and onion.
Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the carrot.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook beef mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. Drain oil from pan.
• Add carrot, celery and onion to the pan, stirring, until softened, 4-6 minutes. • Add Aussie spice blend, tomato paste, the butter(for the sauce) and plain flour and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add garlic & herb seasoning, the milk and water and cook, stirring, until reduced, 2-3 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat, add baby spinach leaves and stir to combine. • Transfer beef filling to a baking dish.
• In a small heatproof bowl, add the butter (for the pastry). Microwave in 10 second bursts until melted. • Lightly scrunch each sheet of filo pastry (see ingredients) and place on top of the beef filling to completely cover. Gently brush melted butter over to coat. • Bake pie until pastry is golden, 20-25 minutes.
Little cooks: Kids can take the lead by scrunching the filo pastry!
• Divide beef and hidden veggie filo pie between plates to serve. Enjoy!
