Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking.
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. This should take about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion is translucent, which will take another 2-3 minutes.
- Mix in the vegetables, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for roughly 5 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Roll out the pie crusts on a clean surface. Cut them into circles large enough to line mini pie pans.
- Place the crusts in the mini pans, filling each with the beef mixture generously.
- Cover each pie with another layer of pie crust, sealing the edges by crimping them with a fork.
- Cut slits on top of each pie to allow steam to escape, and brush with the beaten egg for a nice golden finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving, and enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to experiment with your vegetable filling; you could add mushrooms or spinach. Make sure not to overfill the pies to prevent bursting while baking. Optionally top with cheese for added flavor.
