Homemade Meat Pies
- 1 pkg (11 oz) Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets
- 1 1/2-2 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp jerk seasoning
- to taste garlic salt
- 1 whole yellow onion
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 large egg & 2 tbsp water (to use as egg wash)
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- In a large skillet, brown your ground beef on a medium heat for about 25 - 30 min.
- While browning your meat, finely chop your onion.
- Set aside.
- 15 minutes into browning, add your Worcestershire sauce, then sprinkle in your jerk seasoning and garlic salt.
- You may add other spices if you like.
- After 20 minutes of browning, stir in your onions.
- Cover and allow to finish browning, stirring occasionally.
- Drain off the drippings and set aside.
- Unfold your puff pastry sheets and cut into thirds.
- With the 12 oz package, you should get enough to make 9 pies, using both sheets.
- Combine your egg and water in a small bowl and whisk briefly to create your egg wash.
- To give you a safe place to prepare your pastries, and ensure that they don't get sticky from thawing, thinly coat a cutting board with flour.
- That will be your workspace to put them together.
- Coat a cookie or baking sheet large enough to hold your completed pastries with a thin layer of non stick spray.
- Preheat your oven to 400F.
- Take one square of the cut puff pastry sheet, and place on your floured cutting board.
- Using a measuring spoon, scoop out 2 tbsp of your browned ground beef and place in the center of the square.
- Take another square of the puff pastry and place on top.
- Take a fork and dip it into the egg wash, then press firmly on the edges of the top pastry to crimp it down to the bottom one.
- You will have to dip your fork several times per pie.
- Once completed, place on cookie sheet.
- Repeat this process until you have completed all the pastries.
- I got 9 of them when I cut mine into thirds.
- Melt your butter in a measuring cup, and using a brush, braise the top of each completed pastry.
- Place in oven uncovered for approximately 15 minutes, or until to pastry turns a light golden brown.
- There is no need to turn them.
- Allow about 5 minutes to cool slightly and dig in.
- They should be nice and flaky!
