Impressive enough to serve to company, easy and quick to make, these hand pies are a real favorite. You can change them up by adding your favorite vegetables to the filling or using a different cheese; but I prefer a vegetable side dish so the beef and mushroom flavors dominate the hand pies.

Steps

1

Remove puff pastry from freezer to thaw. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute the onion and mushrooms until softened and beginning to brown. Add the beef, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stirring, cook until beef is browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
2

Preheat oven to 375°F. With a floured rolling pin on a lightly floured surface, roll each sheet of puff pastry into a rectangle and slice into quarters. Brush the egg wash around the outer edges of 4 of the pastry rectangles.
3

Place a slice of cheese in the center of each pastry rectangle and top each with 1/4th of the cooled beef mixture. If desired, top the beef mixture with some crumbled blue cheese or goat cheese.
4

Top each with another pastry rectangle, press together all around the edges to seal, and crimp with fork tines. With a knife, poke 3 vent holes in the top of each hand pie. Place on a baking sheet and brush the tops with the egg wash. Bake until golden brown, about 30-35 minutes.

My 5 siblings and I were raised in the 1950s and 60s midwest by a major foodie dad who was a great cook. We all learned to cook at a young age. I love to cook for my 2 daughters, 7 grandkids, 8 great-grandkids, and extended family. My 4 year old great-grandson makes my day when he says "Nan sure is a good cooker!". :-). I'm trying to get all my favorite recipes saved here so my family and friends all have easy access to them even after I'm gone. My Cookpad collection is their inheritance, so I try to add my comments and memories to each recipe; that way they'll remember me with a smile when they use the recipes years from now. Recently I've called on my grandkids (all adults and avid cooks) to send me their own favorite recipes, with their prep photos, so we can collect everyone's favorites together in one place.
