Why I Love this Recipe

  • I think hand pies say, “you’re special” because someone took the time to make individual and portable portions.
  • Speaking of portions, they are great for any focusing on portion control.
  • My kids grew up eating Hot Pockets and these savory hand pies are a grown-up version of a Hot Pocket.
  • We especially love the rustic look of these hand pies along with the extra crispy edges.

Ingredients

  2. Add 2 tbsp of olive oil to a skillet on medium-high heat.
  3. Add 1/2 bag of the hash browns in a single layer.
  4. Liberally salt and pepper the potatoes.
  5. Cook without touching for 5 minutes. Stir and cook without touching for another 5 minutes. They should be brown and crispy.
  6. Scoop the cooked hash browns into a bowl and set them aside.
  7. In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and the diced onions, turn the heat down to medium and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  8. Add the ground beef and cook until it is browned.
  9. If there is a lot of liquid in the skillet, pour off 1/2 of it.
  10. Mix together the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, tomato paste, and salt and pepper, and pour the mixture over the ground beef and onions.
  11. Stir the cooked hash browns back into the skillet.
  12. Add 1/2 bag of peas.
  13. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in 1/2 of the shredded cheese.
  14. Let the meat mixture cool at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
  15. When the mixture is cool enough to touch, add the remaining cheese.
  16. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.

Reader Questions

What is a hand pie?

A hand pie is a small portable version of any type of pie or filled pastry.

Can I use homemade pie crust?

Absolutely! I love the convenience of refrigerator pie crust because it makes using any recipe that calls for pie crust super simple and it turns out really good.

Can I freeze the leftovers?

That’s one of my favorite things about this recipe. Once the hand pies are completely cool, place them in single layers in a zip-top bag or airtight container and freeze them for up to 3 months. To thaw, let them sit in the refrigerator overnight or on the countertop for an hour and simply microwave them or pop them in the toaster oven to reheat. They are also really good at room temperature.

Karzy Kitchen Mom Tips

  • To make this recipe in advance, follow the instructions above through #17. Store the meat mix in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. All that’s left is to assembly the hand pie when you’re ready to bake them.
  • There are many ways to make substitutions to this recipe. Use frozen mixed veggies or frozen corn instead of peas. Swap ground sausage or pork for the ground beef. Add different types of dipping sauces.
  • To freeze baked hand pies, cool completely at room temperature, place them in single layers in a zip-top bag or airtight container, and freeze them for up to 3 months. To thaw, let them sit in the refrigerator overnight or on the countertop for an hour and simply microwave them or pop them in the toaster oven to reheat.
