Mini Meat Pies

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (or any meat of your choice)
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 package of refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade if you prefer)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Add the diced onion, carrots, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.
  4. Stir in the frozen peas, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, keeping everything well mixed. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  5. Roll out the pie crusts on a floured surface. Use a round cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out circles. You should have enough circles to create the top and bottom of each mini pie.
  6. Place a circle of pie crust in each muffin tin or mini pie dish. Fill with about 1-2 tablespoons of the meat mixture. Top with another circle of dough and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
  7. Brush the tops of the pies with the beaten egg to create a golden crust.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pies are golden brown.
  9. Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm and enjoy!

These mini meat pies are adorable, delicious, and the perfect party food. They are sure to become a favorite in your household!
