Mini Savory Meat & Potato Pies

Print Recipe

Golden, flaky pastry shells filled with a hearty blend of seasoned ground beef, tender potatoes, and aromatic herbs—these individual meat pies are perfect for cozy dinners, meal prep, or entertaining with rustic charm.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 lb (225g) ground beef
  • 1 small potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp beef broth or water
  • 2 sheets puff pastry or shortcrust pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin or pie tin.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until soft.
  3. Add ground beef and cook until browned.
  4. Stir in diced potatoes, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, pepper, and beef broth.
  5. Cover and cook on low heat for 10–12 minutes until potatoes are tender. Let the mixture cool slightly.
  6. Cut pastry into circles large enough to line and top your pie molds.
  7. Press bottom crust into each mold and fill with the cooled beef and potato mixture.
  8. Place a second pastry circle on top and seal the edges by pinching or pressing with a fork.
  9. Brush the tops with egg wash and cut a small slit in each for steam to escape.
  10. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Let filling cool before assembling to prevent soggy pastry.
  • Shortcrust pastry will give a firmer bite; puff pastry offers a flakier texture.
  • Customize filling with peas, carrots, or herbs of choice.
  • Can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for best texture.
