One of my family's favorite comfort foods is the lowly meat pie. Lowly? It's actually full of flavor and, if made right, looks delicious as well.

Time 1h40m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 pound ground beef
½ pound ground pork
1 large onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 stalks celery, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small carrot, finely chopped
1 large baking potato, peeled and finely chopped
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
salt-free seasoning blend to taste
salt and pepper to taste
2 beef bouillon cubes
1 cup hot water
2 cups shredded mild Cheddar cheese
2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch dish with cooking spray.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground beef and ground pork. Cook and stir until the meat is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Stir in the onion, bell pepper, and celery. Cover and reduce the heat to medium; cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables have softened and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Make a well in the center of the skillet and put the minced garlic directly on the bottom of the pan. Cook for 30 to 60 seconds or until fragrant, and then blend the garlic with the meat mixture. Add the carrot, potato, bay leaf, thyme, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, seasoning blend, and salt and pepper.
  • Dissolve the bouillon cubes in the hot water in a bowl, and pour it into the meat mixture; mix well. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the carrots are soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Lay one sheet of puff pastry in the prepared baking dish. Gently press the pastry into the corners and up the sides of the dish. With a slotted spoon, transfer the meat into the crust and spread evenly. Avoid adding liquid to the pie. Top with Cheddar cheese.
  • Whisk together the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water. Brush the edges of the bottom puff pastry sheet. Lay the second sheet of puff pastry over the baking dish, pressing with a fork to seal the edges. Brush the surface with egg wash and pierce with a fork several times to vent the crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 50 minutes. Check after 15 minutes to prevent over-browning (tent with aluminum foil, if necessary). Remove the pie from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

I was given this recipe from my multi-faceted manager, Linda Mitchell as a quick, easy, filling & delicious dish. I don't eat Pork or Beef, however when I prepare this dish for my Grandmother (Ma), I use a ½ and ½ mixture of ground Turkey and ground Chuck as well as Onion & Garlic powder. You can't tell it has any ground Turkey in it at all! This simple recipe for meat pie turns out a hit every time!!

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Sausage

Time 1h25m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 onion, chopped
1 pound bulk pork sausage
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 pinch garlic powder
1 (15 ounce) package store-bought refrigerated pie dough, at room temperature
1 quart vegetable oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat; whisk in flour, and cook until flour turns from white to a nutty brown color, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in onion and cook until transparent, about 5 minutes. Add meats and brown until no longer pink, 10 to 12 minutes; stir in Cajun seasoning and garlic powder; drain fat. Cool to room temperature.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Use a 5 inch diameter round cookie cutter or cut around a saucer to make a round of dough. Place a heaping tablespoon of meat filling in the center of each round. Fold dough over filling and seal edges closed by pressing with a fork or fingers. Repeat to make 15 pies, re-rolling dough scraps as needed.
  • Heat oil for frying in deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Deep fry pies in small batches until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Or bake pies on greased cookie sheets in preheated 350 degree F (175 degrees C) oven 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • For a flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. Butter adds flavor, while shortening helps create a tender, flaky texture.
  • Be sure to chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from becoming too sticky and difficult to handle.
  • When assembling the pie, brush the edges of the dough with an egg wash before sealing it. This will help create a golden brown crust.
  • To prevent the bottom crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling.
  • Let the pie cool slightly before serving. This will help the filling set and make the pie easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Southern meat pie is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a family meal. With its flaky crust and flavorful filling, this pie is sure to be a hit. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced baker, this recipe is easy to follow and will help you create a delicious meat pie that everyone will love.
