The Amazing Shepherds Pie Hand Pies

Just think of these little Shepherd’s Hand Pies as individual pot pies that you can eat with your fingers. They make for perfect comfort food for dinner or anytime.

You’ll Need:

• 1/2 lb ground beef
• 1 cup onion, chopped
• 1 medium Yukon gold potato, peeled and diced
• 1/2 cup carrot, diced
• 1/4 cup frozen peas
• 1/4 cup frozen corn
• 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 cup canned beef gravy
• 1 egg
• 1 Tbsp water
• 2 boxes (4 rolls) pre-made pie crust
• 8 slices American cheese, quartered

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two (or three) baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cook the ground beef and onions in a medium-size sauté pan over medium heat until the onions are translucent and the meat is no longer pink, about 5-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3. While the beef is cooking, add the potatoes and carrots to a small saucepot. Cover the veggies with slightly salted water and boil until they’re cooked through, but not mushy, about 3–5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
4. Add the beef, onions, carrots, potatoes, peas, corn, Worcestershire sauce, and gravy into a medium-size mixing bowl. Fold together and set aside.
5. Whisk the egg and water together in a small bowl; set aside.
6. On a lightly floured work surface, unroll one of the pie crusts. Using a 3-1/2″–4″ biscuit cutter, cut five rounds. Repeat with the remaining rolls of dough.
7. On half of the rounds, place a generous Tbsp of filling in the center, leaving a 1/2″ border. Stack two quarters of the American cheese on top of the filling. Then, using a pastry brush, apply the egg wash on the border of the crust. Place an empty round on top and seal the edges together with a fork.
8. Place the pies on the papered baking sheets and brush the tops with egg wash. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
