1. 1) Prepare crust according to your favorite recipe, or you can use my recipe thats in my TastyKitchen recipe box and wrap discs in plastic wrap.
2. Refrigerate for 30-40 minutes.
3. You can use store bought if you wish, however, you may need three singles crusts.
4. You get more circles out of homemade crust as you can re-roll the scraps at least once as long as you do not handle the dough too much.
5. 2) Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
6. Add meat and cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
7. Add the garlic, onion, bell pepper, and bay leaf.
8. Cook 7-9 minutes until veggies are soft.
9. 3) Stir in tomato paste, spices, sugar, and water.
10. Cook for 3-5 minutes.
11. Season with salt and Tobasco.
12. Discard the bay leaf and allow the mixture to cool.
13. 4) Preheat the oven to 350F.
14. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
15. In a small bowl, beat the egg and the milk for the egg wash, set aside.
16. 5) Roll out the pie crust to a 14 round.
17. Using a 4 biscuit cutter, cut out as many circles as you can.
18. Brush the edge of half of the round with the egg wash. Add a tablespoon of cooled meat mixture to one side of the circle.
19. Fold over the other side of the circle, press to seal.
20. Using a fork, crimp the edges and poke the center of the tart to vent.
21. Place on cookie sheet.
