Beef Pot-Pie

Beef and potatoes baked in biscuit dough.

Cut into pieces of equal size some coarse fat beef, put in a saucepan with cold water, and stew for about two hours with the lid on the pan; add a few slices of fat pork or bacon, an onion, salt and pepper to taste, and a thickening of flour and water; turn into a dish, lined with biscuit dough, such as is used for dumplings, cover over with more of the dough, and bake in a quick oven until done. Turn out on a dish, and serve.
