The $29 Kmart Pie Maker

Have you heard about the Kmart $29 pie maker? If you haven’t you can check it out here… or join the Kmart Pie Maker Recipes Group on Facebook that has over 90,000 members….. what!!?? Right!??? I know! It’s C.R.A.Z.Y!!!!

Lauren (my ThermoBliss co-owner has had her pie maker for a long while now – whereas I am totally new to the club (as in, I’ve only owned mine for a week)… but I’m soooo in love with it! I don’t even usually like pies, but these are AWESOME!!! I’m a total convert!

(*And I should add that we’re in no way sponsored to promote these pie makers… we both just happen to own and love them).

And given that the weather was absolutely AWFUL here in Victoria this past weekend, I thought we’d make Thermomix Beef Pies. Ummm… YUM! These are your classic Aussie beef pies (the filling is really similar to a party pie filling because it’s made with beef mince) and they’re absolutely delicious!

I made the filling in the Thermomix and then cooked the pies in the pie maker (see my recipe tips below if you dont have a pie maker).

Classic Aussie Beef Pies made in the Thermomix

I based this recipe on this super popular original recipe from Taste.com – and simply adapted it to the Thermomix, reduced the amount of liquid needed, and included pie maker instructions. Too easy! Why mess too much with an absolutely delicious recipe!
