These delicious pies make for a hearty meal that's sure to satisfy the whole family. The rich combination of ground beef, smoky bacon, fresh tomatoes, and gooey cheddar cheese creates a comforting dish that's perfect for any season.
Instructions:
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* Remove from heat and stir in the grated cheddar cheese until melted and well-combined.
* 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).
* 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.
* Brush the tops of the pies with the beaten egg. This will give the pies a beautiful golden color when baked.
* Place the pies in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
* 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.
