Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds Ground Beef
1 cup onion (chopped)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon thyme (ground)
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 pie crusts (see note)
1 cup cheddar cheese (grated)
1 egg
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • In a medium frying pan on medium heat, add the Ground Beef and spices.

  • Cook until the Ground Beef is completely cooked through (160ºF) and the onoions are translucent.
  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
  • Cut circles out of the pie crust, they should be about 4-6 inches in diameter. You should get 12-14 circles. You can use a large cookie butter or biscuit cutter or just trace a drinking glass if you don't have a cutter.
  • Divide the Ground Beef and cheese up evenly between the circles.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground beef (80 percent lean)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (from 2 cloves)
1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced (3 cups)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
6 ounces cheddar, shredded (2 cups)
1 sheet (12 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Roasted broccoli rabe or other green vegetable, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over high. Add beef, garlic, and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, about 7 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire and Dijon; season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Stir in cheese.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 14-inch square. Cut into four 7-inch squares; place a quarter of beef mixture on each. Brush edges with egg, then fold one corner of each pie over, forming a triangle. Press edges to seal.
  • Place pies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with more egg. Cut 2 vents in each top; freeze 10 minutes. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve with broccoli rabe.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use high-quality ingredients, especially the beef. Grass-fed beef or chuck roast are good choices.
  • Don't overcook the beef. It should be cooked until it is just tender, but not tough.
  • Use a good quality pie crust. You can either make your own or buy a pre-made one from the store.
  • Be careful not to overfill the hand pies. They should be filled, but not so full that they burst open when you bake them.
  • Bake the hand pies until they are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let the hand pies cool slightly before serving. This will help prevent the filling from spilling out.

Conclusion:

Savory Beef Hand Pies are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. They can be made ahead of time and reheated, making them a great option for busy weeknights. With their flaky crust and savory filling, these hand pies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
