Ingredients:

– 1 lb (450 g) ground beef

– 1 onion, finely chopped

– 2 cloves garlic, minced

– 1 cup frozen peas and carrots

– 1/2 cup beef broth

– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

– 1 teaspoon dried thyme

– 1/2 teaspoon paprika

– Salt and pepper to taste

– 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade pie crusts)

– 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Preparation:

1. Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.

2. Add vegetables: Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent. Add the frozen peas and carrots, and cook until heated through.

3. Add seasonings: Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and paprika. Stir well and cook until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).

5. Prepare the crust: Roll out the pie crusts and cut into circles or squares, depending on your preference.

6. Assemble the pies: Place a spoonful of the meat mixture onto each crust piece. Fold over or cover with another piece of crust, sealing the edges with a fork.

7. Brush and bake: Brush the tops of the pies with the beaten egg. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

8. Serve: Let the pies cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Nebraska Meat Pies!
