- Soften chopped carrot and parsnip a bit in leftover meat juices. Reserve with meat
- Dice 2 of the potatoes very finely. We want them to break up while cooking. Add to the slow cooker with rest of ingredients
- Top with cold water to cover potatoes. Add crumbled oxo cubes and cook on high for 2 hours
- After 2 hours add rest of potatoes chopped to the slow cooker. Reduce the heat to low and cook for further 3 hours. Stir and add a splash of Worcestershire sauce if you like
- Make a pastry mixing flour, butter, egg yolk and water in a bowl. Knead until dough soft and doesn't stick to the surface. Wrap in cling film and put in fridge for 40-50 minutes(or you can use ready made short crust pastry)
- Roll with rolling pin. Use 2/3 of the pastry to cover bottom of pie dish.
- Fill pie dish with cold left over scouse. Dampen edges a bit. Roll rest of the pastry and cover pie dish. You may want to press edges together by hand or with fork.
- Make a couple of holes to let air out so that pie doesn't explode. Brush a bit of beaten egg for shine
- Bake on medium oven 160°C for 30-40 minutes until golden brown
