I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Place onions and garlic in TM bowl and chop 3 seconds, speed 7.
Add oil and thyme to bowl and sauté for 10 minutes, 100 degrees, speed 1, MC OFF..
Add remaining ingredients and cook for 30 minutes, 100 degrees, reverse spoon speed (slowest speed) MC OFF. Place simmer basket on top of lid to prevent splatter. With a few minutes to go, check the mixture and if the mince is still quite clumpy turn the speed up to 1 for the last 3 minutes cooking time.
Allow the pie filling to cool completely. Once cooled, add your choice of topping - either pastry or potato and bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes.
This flavoursome mince pie filling can be used for a family size pie, party pies or shepherds pie. I made a shepherds pie using a double batch of my no fail mashed potatoes for the topping. The recipe can be found here;

This recipe was inspired by Jamie Oliver's mince and onion pie from his book "Save With Jamie" with a few slight adaptions to his original recipe.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

This was so delicious. Not too runny great flavour. A+
Lovely flavour. I wouldn't use the flour again or if it did I would mix with water first as I had flour clumps.
Make into mini pies
This recipe was really nice, has a proper meat pie consistency. The flavour is very close, maybe I will leave the cumin out next time (I used half the amount). I also used half the balsamic and added vegetable stock paste. I'll add bacon and maybe a bit of cheese next time
Nice consistency for a meat pie. I used 2 red onions as they were large and added a carrot and broccoli for some veges. I’ll only use one large red onion next time. I found that there was way too much vinegar, so much that next time I’ll leave it out altogether. I also think that I’ll either add or substitute a gravy base for the flour. Otherwise, it makes a cost effective pie, but as is, it has too much onion and vinegar.
Love this! Instead of flour and Beef stock Powder, I replaced with Gravox. Great consistency, Using it for pies in the pie maker.
Very tasty will definitely make again but I would stir it half way through cooking as I had a clump of flour in the meat at the end ( despite doing the last 3 minutes on speed 1 not on reverse).
Great easy recipe. Will definitely add more vegetables next time. A new favourite for shepheards pie.
Hubby is wanting pies, so I'm making this recipe this afternoon as I have a heap of beef mince to use up. We are heading off to do the groeceries shortly with a stop into Kmart to purchase a pie maker (hubby thinks a pie maker is a great investment lol). Think I'll be popular tonight going by the other reviews!
Tastes great and easy too:First time I'm making Shepards' pie so not sure how juicy or runny it should be. Mine looked a bit too watery so I added several tbs of whole oats for the last 10-15 of cooking and it came out with great texture and can't even tell they are in there. More fiber and well hidden!
My family love this recipe. I enclose it with puff pastry and add mash potatoes and grated cheese. Thanks!!!
