I was born in England and I like to think that’s why I have such a love for meat & potato pie. 🙂 This pie is my little twist on shepherd’s pie and it’s delicious! Just a few ingredients needed and you can have this served up in no time and its only 7 smart points per serving.
Meat and potato pie

Recipe type: Main meals
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 6
7sp or 6pp/serving (same on freestyle)
Ingredients
- 1 package reduced fat pillsbury crescent rolls
- 8 oz cooked lean ground beef
- ½ cup diced onions
- 1 package beef oxo (4.5g, similar to a beef bullion cube)
- 1.5 cups mashed potatoes (about 3 small potatoes)
- ½ cup light shredded cheese (I use a WW mexican blend)
Instructions
- Boil potatoes til nice and tender and mash (I use 1 Tbsp light margarine and a splash of milk)
- Cook your ground beef in a pan on stove, drain fat.
- Add ground beef to a small pot, add in diced onion and oxo pack. Fill pot with lightly boiled water and simmer on stove top on med-low for 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350F, open up your pillsbury rolls and make a crust in a sprayed 8 inch round pie dish, this will involve some breaking up of dough pieces. Bake in oven for 5 minutes and remove (this will prevent middle from being doughy)
- Drain your ground beef mixture and add to pie crust. Top with your mashed potatoes. Bake in oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove and sprinkle cheese on top, return to oven for 3-4 minutes to melt cheese. Makes 6 servings at 7sp or 6pp per serving.

This sounds really delicious and something new to try. Thank you for sharing this.

your welcome! Enjoy 🙂
What is the equivalent of beef bullion cubes to 1 package of OXO??
Thanks!
Hi, I would think 1-2 cubes would be fine..
I love all of your recipes!!! Can I put in some frozen peas and carrots in the meat mixture?
Thank you 🙂 and yes sure you can, you might want to cook them in the microwave maybe first, I know carrots can take awhile to get soft
Do you need to use the oxo? I have everything else on hand and really want to make this for dinner tonight! Looks so yummy!
I’m so sorry I missed this.. Not sure if you went ahead and made it , the oxo helps with flavor but it will still be good without it 🙂
What would the points be if you used lean turkey or chicken?
Sorry you’d need to do the math or build the recipe in your App, I only have it figured out with using the ground beef
