Hey pie lovers, let me pietroduce to an easy pie recipe. Yeap, I am talking about these 20 minutes Bacon Chilli Pies.
Some days it is all about easy peasy recipes. You know the days when you kiddoes have just had a really rather fun sleepover, along with babyccinos and marshmallows, lollipos and crisps, popcorn and movies, and much much more that meant they went to bed at 12am.
WHich then mean they were well knackered the next day and just wanted a lot of cuddle and attention, so I had to spend more time with he kiddoes and less time cooking. These Bacon Chilli Pies were a life saver.
Easy Bacon Chilli
Guys, this is really the easiest bacon chilli you will ever make. For real. It is whipped up in just 15 mins and FOUR ingredients. Bacon, spring onions (scallions), tomato salsa and beans.
Step 1. Fry the bacon.
Step 2. Add in and fry the spring onion
Step 3. Add in the rest of the ingredients and simmer for a little while and that is it.
Easy Chilli Bacon Pie
It gets even better now folk. Stuff that simple bacon chilli mix into your Yorkshire puddings (so no pie crust-making and refrigerating and rolling, nope not on my watch folks) and pop in the oven.
Less than 20 mins to golden, crunchy yet fluffy, tasty easy bacon chilli pies. It took me less than 2 mins to sell the idea to the bestie who made them, loved them and fed his date. Result.
Simple, quick and even my “rather scared of having anything to do with pies” bestie can make these. Result peeps, result.
I been making these bacon chilli pies like crazy. Why I hear you ask? Well.
- It is coming up to national pie week and well, you got to make pie during pie week. Because it is pie week.
- I do have about half a freezer full of spoiltpig bacon that I have the urge to put in anything and everything like well, pies. See, this totally makes sense right?
- ( Food blogger confession time) all those lasagne tacos pie things that have been all over the place (Pinterest and Instagram I am looking at you) have become so imprinted in my brain that I just had to make them – but of course I have to be different – so Yorkshire pudding pies they became.
- The bestie has been asking me to teach him how to make easy pies to impress his date. What sort of friend will I be if I don’t oblige.
