Ingredients:

2 tsp olive oil
9g
1 onion
160g
1 stalk celery
130g
1 carrot
60g
5 bacon strips
120g
2 garlic cloves
6g
18 oz ground beef (80/20%)
510g
1 lb tomatoes
450g
1 tbsp tomato puree
16g
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
16g
1/3 cup BBQ sauce
72g
1 cup cheddar cheese
100g
1 tbsp butter
16g
4 sheets puff pastry
1000g
1 egg
50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prep Vegetables and Bacon: Finely chop the onion, celery, and carrot. Dice the bacon into small pieces.
3. Cook Aromatics:
* Heat 2 tsp of olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
* Add the chopped onion, celery, carrot, and diced bacon. Cook until the vegetables are soft and the bacon starts to crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Garlic and Beef:
* Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
* Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Use a wooden spoon to break up the beef into small chunks.
5. Incorporate Tomatoes and Sauces:
* Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, Worcestershire sauce, and BBQ sauce.
* Mix well and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the mixture is thickened.
6. Add Cheese:
* Remove from heat and stir in the grated cheddar cheese until melted and well-combined.
7. Prepare Pastry:
* On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets if they are not pre-rolled.
* Cut the pastry into appropriate sizes to line and cover your pie tins or ramekins. You will need 8 circles if you are making individual pies (4 bases and 4 tops).
8. Assemble Pies:
* Butter the pie tins or ramekins to prevent sticking.
* Line each tin with a sheet of puff pastry, pressing it gently into the base and up the sides.
* Spoon the beef mixture into each lined tin, filling them generously.
* Place another circle of pastry on top of each pie, pressing the edges to seal. Trim any excess pastry.
9. Egg Wash:
* Brush the tops of the pies with the beaten egg. This will give the pies a beautiful golden color when baked.
10. Bake:
* Place the pies in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
11. Serve:
* Allow the pies to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tins.
* Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Beef, Tomato, Bacon, and Cheese Pies!

Tips:

- For a deeper flavor, consider browning the ground beef in batches to ensure it caramelizes well.

- If you prefer a spicier kick, add some chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.

- Ensure your puff pastry is cold when working with it to achieve the best flaky texture.

- You can prepare the filling ahead of time and refrigerate it until you're ready to assemble the pies.

- Brush the top of the puff pastry with the beaten egg to achieve a golden and shiny crust.

Your beef, tomato, bacon, and cheese pies are now ready to be enjoyed! The crispy puff pastry encasing the flavorful filling will surely be a hit at your dinner table. Serve hot and savor every bite of this irresistible dish, knowing you've crafted a meal that's both delicious and comforting.
