Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef or lamb
- 1 cup mushrooms, diced
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- to taste Salt and pepper
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or lamb and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

- Roll out the pie crusts and cut them into circles (about 4-6 inches in diameter).
- Place a heaping spoonful of the meat and mushroom filling onto one half of each circle.
- Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges together with a fork to seal tightly.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the mixture over the tops of the hand pies.
- Place the hand pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 25-30 minutes or until they’re beautifully golden brown.
- Let the hand pies cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or topping!
