Equipment

1 Muffin Pan

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
18 ounces original bbq sauce
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 box refrigerated pie crust

Instructions

Cook the ground beef in a skillet until browned and cooked through. Drain the cooked beef from the liquid.
Pour the BBQ sauce into a pan and stir until the ground beef is evenly coated with the sauce.
Unroll both sheets of refrigerated pie crust dough. Cut each of the round pie crusts into a total of 24 small circles (12 for the top and 12 for the bottom) to fit into a muffin pan (I use a cookie cutter).
Spray a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray and place the 12 pie crust circles evenly at the bottom of each individual muffin pan well.
On top of each pie crust mini, place about 1 Tablespoon of ground BBQ beef, and then sprinkle shredded cheese over top of the beef (to your taste). Place the second circle of pie crust dough over the top and then press down for the seams to connect and seal.
You will repeat this step until you have a total of 12 mini BBQ beef pies.
On the top of each individual pie, you will cut two small slits on the tops to allow the steam to escape during baking.
Bake at 425 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
If you have any BBQ mixture left over just add it to the top when serving.

Notes

Use a standard-size or jumbo-size muffin pan. If using the standard size then you may end up with 9 to 12 pies. If using the jumbo size, you should have 6 big pies.
You may have some extra meat mixture left. Before serving simply top the pies with the extra meat mixture.
Do not overbake the mini pies or they will be tough and dry. Allow them to bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, this should be enough time.
When ready to reheat the beef pies, try heating them in the air fryer for a slightly crispy texture. You may also reheat them in the microwave but the pies will be soft.
