Beef broth gravy
Your meat pie might already have some gravy inside, but I find its never enough.
I like my pastry to be DRIPPING in gravy, so I always make sure to have extra on hand.
This beef broth gravy doesnt require any drippings to make and is super tasty.
And to make it even more special, toss some mushrooms into the mix for a boost of umami.
Psst use the gravy as a dipping sauce for your sweet potato fries. Its so good!

Garlic green beans with parmesan
Garlic green beans with parmesan is a simple side dish that pairs perfectly with a meat pie.
They couldnt be easier to make, and theyre great for anyone whos left things to the last minute.
If you dont have green beans in, you can adapt the recipe for any green vegetable. Asparagus, peas, or even spinach.
These garlic green beans have a sprinkle of lemon on top to add a splash of acidity.
Cooking hint use fresh garlic, not minced from a jar, to get the best flavor.
Apple and blue cheese salad
Looking for something fresh, light, and unique? Its time to get your salad on.
Im not talking about any old salad, though I mean blue cheese chopped salad.
Its the perfect winter salad with tangy, salty, and creamy flavors and loads of bright, crunchy vegetables.
Seriously blue cheese and saucy beef is a match made in heaven.
It wont be for everyone, but I personally cant get enough of this apple and blue cheese salad with walnuts.
Arugula and snap peas salad
Try this arugula and snap peas salad when you want something refreshing to balance out your heavy meat pie (but dont like blue cheese).
The snap peas give every bite a sweet crunch, while the bitter arugula and mustard-y kick from the dressing helps to lift the rich taste of the meats gravy.

Try this recipe from The Kitchen Magpie.
Carrot and parsnip mash
Are you looking for a healthy side dish that can still soak up gravy?
This carrot and parsnip mash fits the bill.
If you have enough gravy, you dont even need to flavor the mash. A simple knob of butter or a dash of olive oil will do.
Leave the mash to absorb all the flavors from your meat pie juices and viola an indulgent (but healthy) side.
Lemon herb steamed cauliflower
Steamed cauliflower with a side of buttery lemon sauce will make a delightful side for your meat pie.
Its a cinch to prepare, and its guaranteed to have people raving about it.
The lemons citrusy flavor provides the perfect contrast to the deeper flavors of the meat pie.
Hungry?
Make this lemon herb steamed cauliflower; its so good that youll want to make it again and again.
Butter pepper carrots
You need vegetables with a meat pie. Its non-negotiable.
But they dont have to be boring and bland.
I love how the butter melts into the carrots, so you can taste it in every bite.
And the pepper keeps things from getting too heavy. They look great too with a vibrant range color.
Eat well 101s butter pepper carrots have some added honey for a sweet twist.
