EASY MINI MEAT PIES RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Spray a 12-cup medium muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Roll each pie crust into 12-inch circles on a floured surface. Cut 4 rounds from each crust using a cookie cutter (reroll scraps and cut 4 more rounds). Press individual rounds into muffin cups.
• To make the filling, heat vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions until translucent, then add carrots and celery. Add ground beef and seasoning mix. Cook until beef is browned.
• Drain any excess fat, then add broth to the mixture. Simmer for 5 minutes, until all ingredients are incorporated. Set aside and allow to cool.
• Spoon in 2 tablespoons of cream cheese at the bottom of each pie crust. Spoon in beef and vegetable filling. Crimp or fold crust edges as desired.
• Bake 25 minutes or until crust is brown.
• Drizzle dressing on top as desired and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Lightly flour a work surface. Roll each crust out to about 1/8-inch thick. Cut dough to fit three 3x5-inch loaf pans. Push dough into tins and up the edges using your fingertips. Roll out remaining dough for use as top crusts and set aside.
• Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add potatoes, celery, onion, and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add beef and cook until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add peas, corn, and ale; cook and stir until reduced by a bit more than half, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
• Add flour to the vegetable-ale mixture and stir constantly until thick and almost pasty, 1 to 3 minutes. Add stock slowly, stirring constantly. Add ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, tomato bouillon, rosemary, and garlic powder. Reduce heat and simmer until filling mixture reduces to desired thickness and potatoes are cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Remove pot from heat and allow filling to cool slightly. Fill crusts with filling. Top with remaining dough and pinch edges to seal. Brush tops of pies with beaten egg wash. Cut 3 slits in the top of each pie for air to escape. Place tins on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
