Sunday's pot roast became tonight's steak pie. With the rain, cold and sleet (yep, sleet) this smells heavenly baking. Oh, either one smells heavenly.
We had the roast with mashed potatoes and steamed green beans. The pie was accompanied with a wedge of iceberg lettuce dashed with Blue cheese dressing and Gorgonzola crumbles.
