Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 white onion (diced)
- 2 russet potatoes (peeled, diced)
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme (chopped)
- 0.5 tbsp fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 cup (237 ml) mixed bag of frozen peas (corn and carrots)
- 0.5 cups (118 ml) beef broth
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1 cup (237 ml) brisket (or beef of choice, cooked, shredded)
- 4 12-inch pie crusts
- 1 tbsp butter (melted, for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (227°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, potatoes, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until onions are translucent and potatoes are softened.
- Add frozen peas, corn, and carrots.
- Add beef broth; bring to a simmer. Fold flour into the mixture until integrated. The mixture should thicken. Add brisket. Cook for 5 minutes, or until all ingredients are heated through.
- Remove from heat.
- Cut raw pie crusts into circles approximately 5 inches in diameter.
- Fill the center of each crust with the potato mixture. Do not overstuff – you will have some mixture leftover.
- Fold over the crusts to create a half-circle and press the edges together with your fingers. Decorate the edges by pressing with a fork, if desired.
- Brush the top of each pie with melted butter.
- Line each hand pie evenly over the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until crusts are golden brown.
Notes
- For easier handling, chill the filled hand pies for 15-20 minutes before baking.
- Leftover filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and used for a quick lunch or snack.
- Substitute ground lamb or chicken for the brisket for a different flavor profile.
