Real meat pies

Serves:

Ingredients

• 4 cups leftover beef casserole
• 4 sheets frozen puff pastry, defrosted
• 1 egg, beaten

Method

Preheat oven to 220°C conventional (200°C fan-forced). Lightly grease 8 holes of a 12-hole muffin tin.

Using 2 forks, shred any large pieces of beef in the casserole and stir to combine.

Cut eight 12cm circles from the pastry and line the muffin tin holes. Brush the top edges of the pastry with egg. Spoon half a cup of casserole into each case. Cut eight 8cm circles from remaining pastry and top each case. Use your fingers to press together and seal. Brush with egg and use a knife to create a slit in the top of each.

Bake for 30 minutes until puffed and golden.
