Shepherd’s Pie Hand Pies
Shepherd’s Pie Hand Pies
Unique, delicious and easy Shepherd's Pie Hand Pies will look like you slaved away in the kitchen when it actually only took 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Olive oil
- ½ White onion diced
- 2 Alsum russet potatoes peeled, diced
- ¼ Teaspoon Salt
- ¼ Teaspoon Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh thyme chopped
- ½ Tablespoon Fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 Cup Mixed bag of frozen peas, corn, and carrots
- ½ Cup Beef broth
- 3 Tablespoons Flour
- 1 Cup Brisket (or beef of choice) cooked, shredded
- 4 12-inch Pie crusts
- 1 Tablespoon Butter melted, for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, potatoes, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until onions are translucent and potatoes are softened. Add frozen peas, corn, and carrots.
- Add beef broth; bring to a simmer. Fold flour into the mixture until integrated. The mixture should thicken. Add brisket. Cook for 5 minutes or until all ingredients are heated through. Remove from heat.
- Cut raw pie crusts into circles approximately 5 inches in diameter. Fill the center of each crust with the potato mixture. Do not overstuff – you will have some mixture leftover. Fold over the crusts to create a half-circle and press the edges together with your fingers. Decorate the edges by pressing with a fork, if desired. Brush the top of each pie with melted butter.
- Line each hand pie evenly over the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until crusts are golden brown.
Notes
When adding the beef broth and flour, I like to push the vegetables aside first and add to an empty section of the skillet, then slowly pull the vegetables back in once the roux is underway.
