Aussie Mini Meat Pies

We got this recipe from one of the two Radish Kids cooking kits we got a few years ago. They are quick and easy, and oh so yummy.

Ingredients:
2 pie crusts (or homemade)
1 lb ground beef
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauve
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup beef broth
1 egg (for egg wash)

Method:
Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper. Cook until browned, breaking beef into small pieces, 7-9 minutes. Add flour, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and broth. Stir. Cook until bubbling, then set aside.

Preheat oven to 375 F. On a lightly floured surface roll out one disk of the dough to 1/8-inch thick. Use a large (4-inch) round biscuit cutter to cut 6 circles. Set aside scarps, then roll out the next disk and cut 6 more circles. Gather all the scraps together and roll them out to 1/8-inch thick, and use a small (3-inch) biscuit cutter to cut 12 circles.

Press each large circle into muffin pan, pressing flat against sides. Evenly divide filling among 12 cups, adding about 1/4 cup to each. Set smaller circles on top (no need to seal).

Crack egg into small bowl and whisk. Then brush pie tops with egg wash. Bake 30-35 minutes, until golden brown. Cool 15 minutes. Then taste and share!

Recipe originally from Radish Kids Australian cooking kit.

Notes: You could definitely make these with actual onion and garlic instead of the powders. We enjoy the simplicity of this version because MJ can help us make it and it tricks her into not thinking about the fact that there are onions in it.

Clarkson Family Recipe Book

I’ve been wanting to digitize the recipes handed down from my Grammie for years. Lately me, my dad, and my brother have struggled to find a way to share recipes—we hate having to slog through the minefields of ad-ladden recipe blogs and sponsored websites where you can only visit once before you have to pay. I decided that the perfect solution to this headache—and the best way to preserve these family recipes—was through a website. Welcome to this place where the recipes have been tested and found true, where nothing is perfect but always yummy, where good food helps make a place a home.
