Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef or lamb Feel free to use turkey or a plant-based substitute if you prefer!
  • 1 medium onion, chopped A yellow or white onion works best.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Garlic powder can be used in a pinch, but fresh is best!
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables Think sweet peas and carrots; frozen works well!
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme Fresh if you have it—divine!
  • 1 package puff pastry Thawed in the fridge overnight or on the counter for about 30 minutes.
  • 1 large egg, beaten For the egg wash

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease your muffin tin.
  2. In a skillet, brown the ground meat with the chopped onions and minced garlic over medium heat until cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Add the mixed vegetables, salt, black pepper, and thyme to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3–4 minutes to combine the flavors.
  4. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut it into circles that generously fit each muffin tin cup.
  5. Spoon the meat mixture into each cup, being careful not to overfill.
  6. Cover with another layer of pastry, sealing the edges to trap the filling.
  7. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden sheen.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until puffed up and golden brown.
  2. Allow to cool slightly before serving, as the filling will be hot.

Notes

Serve with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables, and consider a tangy dipping sauce or pickles to cut through the richness. These pies can be assembled in advance and are suitable for freezing.
