EASY BEEF HAND PIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C.
• Combine the onion, green pepper, spices, and soy sauce together in a medium bowl. Add the mince and the egg to the other bowl and mix well until all the ingredients are well-combined.
• Roll out the thawed puff pastry until it measures approximately 33 x 27 cm. Once this is done, cut the puff pastry into 4 equal pieces (approximately 8cm in size).
• Fill each piece of puff pastry with approximately 55g of the mince mixture. Spread the mixture generously onto the puff pastry, making sure to leave enough space around the edges for folding.
• Dab some water around the edges of the puff pastry and fold to make a "pie shape". Use a fork to help you seal the edges, if necessary. Brush the top of the pies with a beaten egg. Make slight incisions on the top of each hand pie to allow the steam to escape.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden-brown and crispy.
• Serve alongside tomato sauce.

BEEF, CHEDDAR AND POTATO PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a skillet, combine the beef, carrots, onion, celery, garlic and potato and cook, breaking up the meat, over medium-high heat until the beef is cooked through and some liquid has evaporated, about 15 minutes. Lower the heat to medium, add the beer and cook for 10 minutes. Add the cheese, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Let cool.
• On a floured surfaced, roll 1 puff pastry sheet into a 12-inch round. Place in a 10-inch skillet or deep pie dish. Roll the remaining puff pastry sheet into an 11-inch round. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat mixture to the skillet. Lightly brush the edge of the crust with some of the egg wash, then place the second sheet on top. Press edges to seal, then trim to a 1/2-inch edge.
• Place the pie on a baking sheet. Brush the top with more of the egg wash and cut an "X" into the pastry. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bake for 45 minutes, tenting with foil if the crust darkens too quickly. Transfer to a rack to cool for 15 minutes.
• **TIP: Bake the pie up to 1 day ahead, then reheat in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.**.

COUNTRY HAM AND CHEDDAR MINI HAND PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Once the butter has melted, whisk in the flour, creating a roux. Allow the roux to cook for 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the milk, nutmeg, salt and pepper. The roux will thicken as it cooks into a bechamel. Once it becomes thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, take off the heat. Set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry until 1/8 inch thick. Cut one sheet of puff pastry into 3 equal pieces longwise. Cut each piece in half crosswise, creating 6 equal pieces. Line a baking sheet with a piece of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil. Place the pastry on the lined baking sheet and brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash.
• On one half of the piece of puff pastry, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cheese and top with a slice of country ham. Spread 1 tablespoon of the bechamel over the ham. Repeat with another layer of cheese and ham, and finish with one tablespoon of bechamel. Fold the remaining half of the pastry over the filling. Crimp with edges with the tines of a fork. Brush the tops with the egg wash. Cut slits on the top of the pastry to allow the steam to escape the hand pie as it bakes. Repeat with the rest of the pastry.
• Bake the hand pies for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Immediately place on a wire rack to cool.
