Ingredients

1 package (2 sheets) puff pastry, thawed
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, diced
1 carrot, diced
3 potatoes, diced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon water

Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Filling

First, let's get started on the filling. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it's no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Drain off any excess fat, then add the onion, carrot, potatoes, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 2: Assembling the Pies

Now, it's time to assemble the pasties. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry to a 12-inch square. Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Place a mound of filling in the center of each piece of dough, then wet the edges with a bit of water. Fold the dough over the filling, then press the edges to seal. Place the pies onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3: Baking the Pies

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the pies with the egg wash, then cut a few slits in the top of each pie for steam to escape. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pies are golden brown. Serve hot. Enjoy!
