About

These little hand pies make for a great snack, lunch, or as a party appetizer! Each pie is made with a flaky and buttery keto tart dough crust, then filled with heavily seasoned beef and topped with a thin layer of golden brown cheese.

*Please note that you will need a full recipe of the Carb Manager Keto Tart Dough prepared in advance.

Ingredients

2 teaspoon olive oil
6 ounce angus ground beef sirloin by private selection
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon celery seed
6 1 ounce keto tart dough
4 tablespoon, shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

To make the filling, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Place in the ground sirloin and cook it with all the seasonings until you have cooked through the beef and it’s a little crispy. Make sure all liquid is evaporated from the pan.
Cool the beef mixture completely before continuing on. You may wish to make the beef filling and tart dough recipe on one day and chill both until they are ready to use the next day.
When ready to assemble your hand pies, take your already-made tart dough and divide it into 8 equal portions.
Press each portion into a full-sized muffin tin, so each ball of dough forms a cup shape. Make sure not to leave the bottom of the dough too thin. Then, freeze the tart dough cups in the muffin tins. This can take up to one hour.
When the tart dough has finished freezing, preheat an oven to 375 degrees. Fill each tart dough cup with the cooled beef mixture, making sure not to overflow the dough. Then, place about a ½ tablespoon of shredded cheddar over the top of each one.
Bake the hand pies for 10 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to 350 degrees, and bake for an additional 15 minutes. The tart dough should easily release from the muffin pan after cooling for about 5 minutes.
