Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium carrot, finely diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 0.5 cup beef broth
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt (for the biscuit dough)
• 0.5 cup butter, cold and cubed
• 4 ounces cream cheese, cold and cubed
• 0.75 cup milk
• 1 large egg, beaten (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard muffin tin.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion, garlic, and carrot to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Stir in the frozen peas, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, beef broth, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt for the biscuit dough.

Step 6

Add the cold butter and cream cheese to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter and cream cheese into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Pour in the milk and mix gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 8

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times until it is smooth. Roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 9

Using a round cutter (about 4 inches in diameter), cut out circles of dough and press each circle into the cups of the greased muffin tin.

Step 10

Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the cooled meat mixture into each dough-lined muffin cup.

Step 11

Cut smaller circles of dough (about 3 inches in diameter) and place them on top of each filled cup. Press the edges slightly to seal the tops and bottoms together.

Step 12

Brush the tops of each pie with the beaten egg to ensure a golden finish.

Step 13

Bake the pies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuit tops are golden brown.

Step 14

Remove the pies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly in the muffin tin before carefully removing them. Serve warm and enjoy!
