Categories     main-dish

Time 3h50m

Yield 20 meat pies

Number Of Ingredients 15

20 frozen unbaked dinner rolls, such as Rhodes
All-purpose flour, for rolling
2 eggs mixed with 2 tablespoons water, for an egg wash
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 poblano peppers, seeded and chopped
1 onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup grated pepper Jack cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • For the crust: Put the frozen rolls on a baking sheet. Cover with a tea towel and let thaw and rise for 2 to 3 hours.
  • For the filling: Add the oil to a large skillet and set it over medium heat. Cook the peppers and onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes and garlic, then cook for another minute. Transfer to a bowl or plate and set aside.
  • Put the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the beef and cook, breaking up any lumps. Add the chili powder, cumin and 3/4 teaspoon salt and cook until the meat is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the tomato paste and 1/4 cup water and stir until combined. Mix in the cooked vegetables. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool. When the meat is cool, add the cheese and parsley, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • To form: Roll out each dinner roll on a lightly floured surface into a 4-inch circle about 1/4 inch thick. Put 1 1/2 tablespoons of the meat mixture in the center of each circle. Brush around the outside of the circles with the egg wash and fold over the dough to form half-moon shapes. Press the edges together and crimp them with a fork. Put on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush the tops with the egg wash.
  • Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 29

1 pound red chile peppers, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Mexican chili powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried lime granules
½ teaspoon sea salt
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon hot chili powder
½ tablespoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ cup cold butter
¼ cup shortening (such as Crisco®)
⅓ cup cold, flat beer
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, minced
6 large cloves garlic, minced
½ pound lean ground beef
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ cup bread crumbs
¼ cup beef stock
3 teaspoons Mexican chili powder
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
¼ cup cold, flat beer
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Combine chile peppers, garlic, olive oil, chili powder, coriander, cumin, lime granules, and sea salt in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until blended. Set aside 1/2 cup harissa and store remainder in the refrigerator for another use.
  • Sift flour, chili powder, cumin, and sea salt for the pastry into the bowl of a food processor. Add butter and shortening and pulse until crumbly. Pour cold beer in a little at a time, with the processor running, until a ball of dough forms and pulls away from the sides.
  • Transfer dough to a lightly floured silicone pastry mat and roll to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Cut dough into eight 8-inch circles and cover with waxed paper or a damp cloth while you prepare the meat filling. (If refrigerating dough overnight, let it rest on the counter for at least 15 minutes before using.)
  • Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef, salt, pepper, cumin, and thyme. Cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Stir in the reserved 1/2 cup harissa. Add bread crumbs, beef stock, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until all liquid has been absorbed and filling is moist but not watery, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the stove and set aside to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Mix beer and egg together in a small bowl.
  • Uncover the dough circles and place 2 to 3 tablespoons of the meat filling in the center of each circle, leaving a clean margin of dough all the way around. Moisten the edges of the circles with the beer-egg mixture. Fold dough in half, enclosing the filling, and pinch edges closed with a fork. Lightly brush each pastry with beer-egg mixture and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until pastries are golden brown, about 20 minutes.

MEAT PIE



Meat Pie image

This pie is delicious! I got the recipe from my husband's mother. She is French so I believe this is a French Meat Pie. Beef, pork, and potato are all nicely spiced and baked into a pie. It's yummy and pretty easy to make too! Best served fresh, but you can also make ahead and freeze or refrigerate.

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium potato, peeled and cubed
½ pound ground beef
½ pound ground pork
⅓ clove garlic, chopped
½ cup chopped onion
¼ cup water
½ teaspoon mustard powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried sage
1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place the potato in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, mash, and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, crumble the ground beef and pork into a large saucepan, and add the garlic, onion and water. Season with mustard powder, thyme, cloves and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring to crumble the meat and mix in the spices, until the meat is evenly browned. Remove from the heat, and mix in the mashed potato.
  • Place one of the pie crusts into a 9 inch pie plate. Fill with the meat mixture, then top with the other pie crust. Prick the top crust a few times with a knife to vent steam. Crimp around the edges using the tines of the fork, and remove any excess dough. Cover the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the crust has browned. Serve by itself, or with a beef gravy.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the meat into small pieces. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Brown the meat in a hot skillet before adding it to the pie filling. This will help to develop flavor.
  • Add some chopped vegetables to the pie filling, such as onions, carrots, or celery. This will add flavor and texture.
  • Season the pie filling with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. Be sure to taste the filling before baking the pie to make sure it is seasoned to your liking.
  • Use a pre-made pie crust or make your own. If you are using a pre-made crust, be sure to thaw it according to the package directions.
  • Fill the pie crust with the meat filling and top with the remaining crust. Crimp the edges of the crust together to seal the pie.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven according to the recipe instructions. Be sure to check the pie halfway through baking to make sure it is not browning too quickly. If it is, cover the pie with foil.
  • Let the pie cool slightly before serving. This will help the filling to set.

Conclusion:

Spicy meat pies are a delicious and satisfying meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner or a special occasion meal. With a few simple tips, you can make delicious spicy meat pies that will be a hit with your family and friends.
