Savory and Delicious Meatloaf Hand Pies

 Savory and Delicious Meatloaf Hand Pies

So you know that meatloaf  you just passed?  I decided to try something different with the leftovers I had from that meatloaf and came up with meatloaf hand pies.  Oh my goodness….this is so good, you will want to make a bigger meatloaf each time just so you’ll have leftovers to make these pies.  Delicious meatloaf wrapped in buttery layers of puffed pastry.  Now that’s what I call a leftover meatloaf sandwich! 

Savory and Delicious Meatloaf Hand Pies

leftover cold meatloaf with gravy

1 package (2 sheets) frozen puffed pastry 

1 egg 

1 tablespoon water

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Thaw your puffed pastry at room temperature about 20 minutes before you get started.

Lay out your thawed puffed pastry on a lightly Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 14-inch square. Cut into four 7-inch squares.

Slice your meatloaf into thin slices and place in the middle of each 

square. Top with a teaspoon of gravy.  Be careful not to fill  with too much filling.

Brush along the edges of the pastry with egg. This will act as a glue to hold them together.  Next fold one corner of each pie over, forming a triangle. Press edges with your fingers to seal. Then use a fork to go around the open edges.

Place pies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with more egg. Cut 2 vents in each top; freeze 10 minutes. 

Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.  Allow pies to cool for 5 minutes before eating as filling will be hot.
