INGREDIENTS

  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts
  • 1/2 cup finely diced yellow onion
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour plus additional for pie crusts
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup beef or chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups prepared mashed potatoes
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground paprika
  • Fresh parsley chopped (optional garnish)

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • Flour a clean, flat surface and place the 2 thawed-out pie crusts down. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter, cut out 6 circles from each pie crust (you will end up with 12 circles total).
  • Gently push each pie crust circle into the muffin tin and use your finger to smooth out the edges.
  • Bake the pie crusts for about 6-8 minutes. Then remove the pie crusts from the oven and turn the broiler on.
  • Add the onion, garlic, and olive oil to a large skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
  • Add in the ground beef and brown for about 5 minutes. Drain the fat and return the pan to the stove.
  • Add in the Worcestershire sauce and frozen vegetables and combine.
  • Move the beef mixture to one side and add butter and flour. Mix the butter and flour until it becomes a slightly thickened sauce. Combine with the beef mixture.
  • Add the beef broth and mix it into the beef mixture. Let this simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Add 1 tbsp of beef mixture to each mini pie crust (I like to use a small cookie scoop to do this). Top the beef mixture with 1-2 tablespoons of mashed potatoes, then sprinkle a dash of paprika onto each pie.
  • Broil the pies for 5-7 minutes in the oven.
  • Once finished, garnish the pies with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy!
