If You’re Sick Of The Sweetness That Comes With The Holiday Season, Try Out These Savory Hand Pies To Refresh Your Palate Instead
While everyone loves to share recipes for yummy soups and sweet and sugary autumnal desserts in the winter, sometimes we want to switch things up and try other savory dishes perfect for sweater weather.
If you want to make some cozy recipes but are tired of seeing ones for butternut squash soup, I have just the recipe for you.
TikTok creator Angie Casey (@angiecaseyy_) has been sharing some tasty and hearty dishes in her Fall Recipes series, including a recipe for savory beef hand pies.
“I have no words other than ‘yum,'” says Angie in her video.
Here is everything you need to make Angie’s delicious beef hand pies!
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1 finely chopped onion
- 1 finely chopped carrot
- 1 finely chopped rib of celery
- 4 cloves of chopped garlic
- 1 pound of ground beef
- 1.5 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon of tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons of flour
- 1.25 cups of beef broth
- 1 russet potato
- 2 teaspoons of thyme
- 1 tablespoon of parsley
- ¼ cup of peas
- 2 packages of frozen puff pastry
- Salt & pepper
To begin making your savory hand pies, you’ll want to start by making the filling. Add your butter and olive oil to a Dutch oven and place on the stove on medium-high heat.
Once your Dutch oven is hot, add in your finely chopped onion, carrot, and celery, along with some salt and pepper to taste.

Once your vegetables begin to soften, add in your three cloves of chopped garlic and stir. Then, add your pound of ground beef and stir it around until it’s broken into fine crumbles and no longer pink.
Next, mix in your tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce before sprinkling in your flour and stirring to combine. Add in your beef stock and diced potato, then cover your Dutch oven and let the mixture simmer on medium-low heat for around 30 minutes.
Finally, add your thyme, parsley, and peas to your Dutch oven to complete your filling! You’ll want to give it a taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Once you’re satisfied with your filling, set it aside to let it cool completely. While your filling is cooling, take out your puff pastry sheets and let them thaw out, which should take around 45 minutes.
Then, roll out your puff pastry sheets and cut them into five ten-inch rectangles before placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
To assemble your hand pies, place 1/2 cup of beef filling to one side of the pastry rectangles, wet the edges, and fold the other side over the filling. Then, press the edges together with a fork and cut two slits in the top center of each hand pie. This step is essential, as it will allow steam to be released from the pie while baking!
You’ll want your puff pastry to be nice and cold before going in the oven, so place your baking sheet of assembled pies in the freezer for 20 minutes while preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Once the 20 minutes is up, remove the pies from the freezer, brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt, then bake them for 25 minutes, and you’ll be left with golden, delicious hand pies that will warm up anyone on a chilly autumn day! Enjoy!
