Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- Add diced onion and bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Stir in tomato paste, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add beef broth and simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out pie crusts and cut into 4-5 inch circles. Place about 2 tablespoons of cooled filling in the center of each circle.
- Fold dough over to form a half-moon shape. Press edges together and crimp with a fork to seal.
- Brush tops with beaten egg and cut a small slit in each pie for steam to escape.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Allow the filling to cool completely before assembling to prevent soggy pastry. Hand pies can be frozen before or after baking for up to 3 months.
