Savory Beef Pies

• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 pound ground round
• 2 tablespoons instant mashed potato flakes
• 1/4 cup hot water
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 2 (15-ounce) packages refrigerated piecrusts
• Tomato chutney (optional)

1. Saute onion in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 5 minutes. Add garlic, and cook 1 minute. Add beef; cook, stirring often, until meat crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain, cool, and set aside.
2. Stir together potato flakes and 1/4 cup hot water until smooth.
3. Add potato, cinnamon, and next 3 ingredients to beef mixture, stirring until blended.
4. Roll piecrusts into 12-inch circles; cut each crust into 6 (4-inch) circles. Roll out enough remaining crust to make 2 more (4-inch) circles.
5. Spoon 1 rounded tablespoonful of beef mixture onto half of each pastry circle. Moisten edges with water; fold pastry over filling, pressing edges with a fork to seal. Place pies on ungreased baking sheets.
6. Bake at 400u0b0 for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm with chutney, if desired.
7. Note: Meat mixture may be frozen up to 3 months. Thaw in refrigerator and prepare pies as directed.
