Crispy Meat Pies made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts 2 crusts
  • 1 egg beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are translucent.
  • Add the minced garlic to the onions and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  • Stir in the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Incorporate paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Once the beef is cooked through, mix in the frozen peas and carrots. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan, then fill it with the meat mixture, spreading it evenly.
  • Cover the filling with the second pie crust, crimping the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  • Brush the top crust with the beaten egg, then place the pie in the preheated oven.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is crispy and golden brown.
  • Allow the pie to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
