Even though it's Autumn here and this was in the Winter section this was delicious and perfect for a cool fall night. So hearty and filling and warms you from the inside out. All you need to add to complete your meal is a veggie such as a salad and you're good to go.

I used baby bella mushrooms and adding some salt and pepper since none was called for and it tasted a little bland when I checked the sauce. It was too much filling for even my deepest deep dish pie plate so I just left the filling in my deep cast iron chicken fryer and topped it with the puff pastry before placing in the oven. I did use the trick of topping with foil after 25 minutes of baking since my puff pastry was nicely browned at that point.

This is one my family enjoyed and I wouldn't hesitate to make again. It was perfect for my son since he doesn't care for stews or pot pies with carrots, peas or things like that in them but he loves potatoes, mushrooms and beef and can tolerate onions. The ale, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth give this a great flavor and the sauce was the perfect consistency after letting cool slightly after coming from the oven.
