Have a look in the supermarket on the pastry packets - often there are awesome pie recipes on the packs. We've made a meat pie from the Coles branded pastry, was delicious.

My favourite is a chicken, leek and corn pie.

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium leek, sliced thinly
2 rindless bacon rashers, sliced thinly
1 small can sweet corn
1 tablespoon plain flour
1 cup chicken stock
1/3 cup cream
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
3 cups coarsley chopped barbecued chicken
1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry, quartered

1. Preheat oven to 200C/ 180C fan forced

2. Heat oil in medium saucepan, cook leek, bacon and corn until leek softens. Stir in flour, cook stirring until mixture thickens and bubbles. Gradually add stock, cook stirring until mixture boils and thickens. Stir in cream, mustard and chicken.

3. Divide mixture among four 1-cup oven proof dishes, top each with a pastry quarter. Bake, uncovered in oven for about 20 minutes or until browned.

** The recipe has mushrooms in it instead of corn, but we've cooked both. If anyone reading wants to use mushrooms, use 200g and cut them in half, and follow the directions for the corn. Recipe is from Women's Weekly Cheap Eats.
