If you’re not a fan of beer, substitute with Progresso® beef-flavored broth.

To reduce the fat in the pies, replace the beef with ground chicken or turkey.

These are delicious, BUT time consuming to cut all the little circles and prepare. So after making eight, with the leftover filling (I doubled recipe) I filled small soufflé pots and covered with the remaining dough. Little stout pot pies. Delish!! Also, the next time I make these I am going to use beef stew meat and add small diced potatoes.

What can you exchange the beer or whiskey for, in recipes?

I made these last night. We love potatoes in our house, so I added a medium potato, cut in very small cubes, to the mix while it was in the frying pan. Worked out to be just enough and super delish! Will make these again, probably for a gathering so I can show off my skills!!! Pillsbury makes it easy!!

I was disappointed in this recipe. I found the thyme and stout beer flavors to be overwhelming. Next time I would use beef broth instead of the beer and cut the thyme in half.
