Description

Ingredients

• 1 box refrigerated pie dough (14.1 oz)
• 3/4 lb ground beef
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon chili powder
• 3/4 teaspoon paprika
• 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3/4 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 cup black beans
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon water

Directions

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, stir to crumble. Add salt, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin; stir. Continue to cook until beef is no longer pink and seasoning has been incorporated. This should take 8-10 minutes. The beef mixture should thicken as it cooks. Stir in black beans, remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• Preheat oven to 425. Sprinkle flour over a work surface. Roll out one sheet of dough. Cut dough into circles using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, rerolling scraps as necessary. Repeat with remaining sheet of dough.
• Arrange half of the circles on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Place a tablespoon of meat mixture on the dough circles, top with roughly a half teaspoon of cheese. Place the other circle halves over the meat and cheese mixture. Pinch edges together with the tines of a fork Combine egg and water in a bowl. Brush egg wash over the top of each hand pie. Bake in the oven for 13-15 minutes or jut until golden. Remove from oven and let hand pies cool slightly before serving. Serve with your favorite taco fixings on the side.
• Store hand pies in the refrigerator in an air-tight container or a zip-top bag.
