Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are heated through and well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 4: Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts on a floured surface and cut out circles that are large enough to fit into each muffin tin cavity. Place one circle in each greased muffin cup.
Step 5: Fill each pie crust with the meat mixture until just full. Cut smaller circles from the remaining pie crust to serve as tops for the meat pies and place them over the filling, sealing the edges with a fork.
Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the crusts are golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your muffin tin meat pies!
Notes
For optimal storage, keep any leftover muffin tin meat pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, or freeze them for longer preservation. To reheat, simply pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through, ensuring the crust remains crispy. For a delightful serving suggestion, pair your meat pies with a fresh garden salad and a dollop of tangy ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce on the side. A chef's tip: to enhance flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of your favorite herbs or spices to the filling, such as thyme or paprika, for an extra layer of deliciousness.
