Some people, having heard the word “pie”, begin to imagine a long and tedious cooking procedure, after which not only the whole kitchen is covered with flour, but the hostess remains almost exhausted. Of course, this is far from the case, but in any case, the preparation of such baked goods takes time and patience. Unfortunately, not everyone has these qualities of character. Nevertheless, if you really want something home, there is a way out. The hostess will come to the rescue of a completely different type of baking - aspic pie. With meat, ham, mushrooms, cheese, vegetables - such products are prepared with any filling. It would be, as they say, what and how to fill. However, the classics of the genre are precisely aspic pie with meat. Actually, today he’ll talk about him.
General cooking principle
Everything is extremely simple. To prepare a jellied pie (with meat or any other component is not so important), it is enough to make a dough of a rather liquid consistency, then pour the already prepared filling into it and send it to the oven for thirty or forty minutes.
The dough is usually prepared on the basis of mayonnaise, kefir, sour cream or yogurt. These components can be combined (1 + 1), or you can use only one ingredient. It is worth noting: the recipe for jellied pie on kefir is considered the most popular due to the fact that such a product is less high-calorie. In addition, eggs, butter or margarine are added to the dough. Well and, naturally, flour.
As for the baking time, it all depends on several parameters: directly the quantity of the dough itself, the type of filling, the quality of the oven. But usually forty-five minutes is enough to cook. True, some housewives today make jellied pie in a slow cooker. This slightly increases the cooking time, but you can be sure that your product will definitely not burn. And now it's time to move from theory to practice. For starters, we offer a classic recipe for jellied pie on kefir.
Essential Products
To make a real aspic pie with meat, the hostess will need to stock up on such ingredients:
- A bag of kefir (half a liter will be enough).

How to cook?
The meat must be twisted in a meat grinder. Then finely chop the onion, fry it until golden brown, then add the minced meat, salt and mix. Attention: if you see that your filling is rather dry, then it is better to add a few spoons of broth in which the meat was cooked. We turn off the fire. Cooking the dough.
Pour kefir into a container and add soda to it. Stir, set aside. Beat the eggs by adding salt and sugar. We combine our ingredients. Then add (gradually, slowly) flour. To make it easier to understand: at the output you should get approximately the same consistency of the dough as you achieve when preparing it for fritters. In principle, if there is a blender, then take it to help. If not, stir with a spoon.
Lubricate the form, as usual, with oil, you can sprinkle with semolina if desired. Pour two-thirds of the dough. Put the stuffing on top. Fill with the rest of the dough. Sent to the oven. Its temperature should be about one hundred and eighty degrees. Cooking time - forty minutes. In 15 minutes until ready, it is recommended to cover our jellied pie with meat foil. Now consider a slightly different way of cooking.
Minced pie

But for a change, the dough is prepared on mayonnaise. Why take one bag of this product (200 grams). As well as three eggs, a glass of flour. Instead of soda, we use a baking powder. Further, everything is simple. Beat eggs, add mayonnaise, baking powder, flour to them. Solim. Stir. In general, we don’t do any manipulations with minced meat and onions: just mix the first ingredient with the finely chopped second, not forgetting to salt. Everything. Then we do everything in the same way as described above. The only thing is such a cake, due to the fact that the filling is raw, it will cook for ten to fifteen minutes longer.
