Muffin Cup Beef and Cheddar Pies

Imagine a cheese, mushroom and beef burger all wrapped up in its own bun then dipped in marinara sauce for another layer of flavor.

Takes 45 minutes. Makes 20 Meat Pies.

 

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles, 12-15 minutes; drain. Stir in mushrooms, cheese and seasonings.

Divide each loaf into 10 portions; roll each into a 4-in. circle. Top with 1/4 cup filling; bring edges of dough up over filling and pinch to seal.

Place meat pies in greased muffin cups, seam side down. Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Serve with warm Marinara sauce for dipping.

Note: Cooled, put beef pies in a freezer container. To use, reheat beef pies on greased baking sheets in a preheated 350° oven until heated through.
