Beef & Veg Mini Pot Pies
These Beef & Veggie Mini Pot Pies are not only comforting and delicious, they are adorable too! I’ll admit they take a little more time to prepare, but they are worth the extra effort. If you’re short on time, use store bought pastry dough, there are many good options on the market.
Now I know that it seems like a lot of steps. If you are organized, it really doesn’t take that long.
If you are making your dough start with that and set in the fridge to chill while you make the filling.
While the filling simmers, roll out, cut and place the dough into your tart pan, I really like this 6 well Mini Tart Pan which gives the Mini Beef & Veggie Pot Pies the nice fluted edges.
