Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. In a skillet over medium heat, cook 0.5 lb ground beef and 0.5 diced onion until beef is browned and onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Season with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Roll out 1 sheet puff pastry on a floured surface. Cut into 4 equal squares.

  3. Step 3

    Spoon the beef mixture onto one half of each square, leaving a border. Fold the other half over and press edges with a fork to seal.

  4. Step 4

    Beat 1 egg in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the pies with the beaten egg.

  5. Step 5

    Place pies on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
