Mouth-watering mango beer meat pie

This amazing pie has a special twist really takes the flavour to the next level: mango beer! Even without the beer, this pie is superbly tasty with beef, bacon and veggies cooked to perfection in the frying pan before being dished into the pie ramekins and baked to a golden delight. The beer helps keep the meat and veggies tender and brings a whole new depth of flavour that it truly mouth-wateringly delicious! Serve with a side of veggies and top with gravy or tomato sauce.
