Pub Style Beef Pot Pies Ingredients
The ingredients are simple and reminiscent of a pub-style meatloaf… with a few additions.
You can make your own crust, or go easy on yourself and pie refrigerated store-bought crusts.
Gather these ingredients:
Produce:
Medium onion, a clove of garlic, and frozen mixed vegetables.
Flavorings:
Worcestershire Sauce, ketchup, fresh parsley, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes
Pantry:
All-purpose flour and brown sugar
Refrigerated:
Nine-inch refrigerated pie crusts, lean ground beef (or you can substitute ground pork or turkey), cooked bacon, and two eggs.
How to Make Easy Beef Pot Pies
This dish is exceedingly easy to make. It does require a few steps, but it doesn’t take long! In fact, there is no sauteeing ahead of time, and very little chopping of vegetables is involved.
The meat filling is not pre-cooked, it’s simply assembled and then scooped into the pastry.
Begin by coating a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray and preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Set that aside for the moment.
Step 1: Assemble the filling:
In a large bowl, combine the beef, onion, garlic, mixed vegetables, chopped cooked bacon, flour, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and 1 egg. Mix to combine, much like meatloaf.
Step 2: Cut the Pie Crusts:
Unroll the refrigerated pie crusts and cut twelve 4-inch circles for the bottom of the muffin tin. Re-roll scraps as necessary. Then cut twelve 2-inch circles for the top of each beef pot pie.
Step 3: Fill the Pot Pies:
Line each muffin tin with a 4-inch dough circle. Then divide the filling evenly among the 12 cups. This usually takes about 2 tablespoons per cup. Top with pie with a 2-inch dough circle.
Step 4: Bake the Beef Pot Pies
Prepare for Baking:
With the tines of a fork, prick each dough circle top and brush with the second beaten egg for a golden brown finish.
Baking the Beef Pot Pies:
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool a few minutes before removing the pies from the tin.
Make Pub Style Beef Pot Pies Ahead
After placing unbaked pies in muffin cups, wrap the muffin tin in foil and freeze completely for about 2 hours.
Once the mini pies are frozen, run a knife around the edges of the muffin cups to loosen the pie. Remove from the muffin tin and wrap individually in plastic wrap. Add wrapped pies to a large resealable freezer bag.
To bake, preheat the oven to 375°F and spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Remove the pot pies from the freezer and place the desired number of frozen pies in the muffin cups or ramekins.
Loosely tent the pies with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for 20 to 24 minutes longer, or until cooked through. Cool 5 minutes in the pan before removing from the tins.
You can also bake the pies as directed and freeze the individual pies. To reheat, microwave for about 1 minute 30 seconds for quick and easy snacks or lunches.
