Helen's Veal or Lamb Pie With Ketchup Biscuits

My copy of The Searchlight Cook Book

Did I or did I not tell you there were a few strange recipes in this collection? Well, this is one of them! I personally do not care for either meat, but if you do, this might be something different to try one night when you don't know what to make for dinner. You can make this recipe as is or omit the ketchup, it is all up to you and what your taste buds think sounds good. As for me, I'm posting this recipe, but I think I'll pass on trying it. I'll leave this culinary delight to your discretion.
