Pub Style Beef Pot Pies in Muffins Tins is a celebration in every bite. Simple to make, utterly delicious, fun to serve, and perfect as an appetizer or the main event.
Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion, garlic, mixed vegetables, cooked bacon, flour, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, 1 egg, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Mix to combine and set aside.
Cut 12 4-inch circles from the refrigerated pie crusts. Re-roll the scraps as necessary. Then cut twelve 2-inch circles for the tops of the meat pies. Re-roll scraps as necessary.
Begin by lining the bottom of the muffin tins with the 4-inch dough circle. (A dough tamper makes this super fast). Divide the meat filling evenly among the 12 cups. Usually about 2 tablespoons of filling per muffin cup. Top with the 2-inch circles and pinch to seal.
Using a fork, prick the tops of the pies. Brush the remaining beaten egg over the top of the meat pie crust. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool a few minutes before removing from the muffin tins.
