Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan bake). Cut 4 (17cm diameter) circles out of the pastry, re-rolling the pastry as necessary. Line 4 individual pie dishes (8cm diameter) with the pastry, allowing the excess pastry to hang over the sides of the dishes. Set aside while preparing the filling.
Step 2
Mix together Wattie's Mexican Style Red Kidney Beans and Wattie's Frozen Chuckwagon Corn Mix. Divide the filling between the pastry cases.
Step 3
Sprinkle grated cheese over the beans. Fold in excess pastry over the bean filling. Brush pastry top with a little beaten egg or milk. Bake for 20-25 minutes until pastry is golden and filling hot.
