Servings: 44 mini pies
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork sausage (hot)
- ¾ cup chopped green onions
- 1-2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- ⅓ cup all purpose flour
- 4 pre-made roll out pie crusts
Instructions
- Combine beef and sausage, onions, and seasoning in skillet and brown. Do not drain or over cook.
- Sift flour over meat. Stir in and continue to brown for 1-2 minutes. The flour will bind the meat filling together. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
- Roll out the pre-made pie crusts on a lightly floured surfaced. Using a large cookie or biscuit cutter, cut into 4 in. circles.
- Spoon spicy meat filling onto one side of each of the dough circles. With a little water on your forefinger, lightly wet edges of the circles, fold over and crimp edges with a damp fork.
- Cook in the air fryer at 350° Fahrenheit for 15-18 minutes or until crust is a golden brown.
