• ▢ 1 brown onion halved
• ▢ 30 g olive oil
• ▢ 500 g beef mince
• ▢ 1 tbs cornflour
• ▢ 1 tbs beef stock powder
• ▢ 2 tbs water cold
• ▢ 190 g tomato sauce
• ▢ 30 g Worcestershire sauce
• ▢ 20 g barbecue sauce
• ▢ 1 teaspoon Vegemite
• ▢ 3 sheets frozen shortcrust pastry thawed
• ▢ 3 sheets frozen puff pastry thawed
• ▢ 1 egg lightly beaten

• Place the halved onion into the Thermomix and chop on Speed 5, 4 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

• Add the olive oil and saute for 3 minutes, 100 degrees, Speed 1 (with the MC off but the splatter guard or rice basket over the MC hole).

• Add the beef mince and cook for 5 minutes, 100 degrees, REVERSE, Speed 1 (with the MC off but the splatter guard or rice basket over the MC hole).

• Mix the cornflour, beef stock powder and water in a small bowl until dissolved. Add to the Thermomix bowl along with the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce and Vegemite. Cook for 10 minutes, 100 degrees, REVERSE, Speed 1 (with the MC off but the splatter guard or rice basket over the MC hole).

• Cut 12 circles from the shortcrust pastry sheets to fit your pie maker (see recipe notes if cooking in the oven).

• Place the shortcrust pastry circles into the base of the pie maker shells (you'll need to do this in batches - I did 3 X batches of 4 pies in my Kmart pie maker).

• Spoon the beef mince filling over the top.

• Cut 12 circles from the puff pastry sheets and place over the top.

• Brush with the lightly beaten egg.

• Cook for 10 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.

• Serve immediately or allow to cool and freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

• If you don't have a pie maker, you can cook these in the oven in muffin tins on 200 degrees celsius for 20 minutes or until golden.
• Ensure the MC is removed- and the splatter guard or rice basket is in place over the MC hole. This is for safety reasons and allows the steam to escape.
• I like to use shortcrust pastry on the base and puff pastry on the top... but you can use one type of pastry if you prefer.
• Vegemite adds a rich flavour to the sauce- however, you can omit it if you prefer.
• Cornflour helps to thicken the sauce.
• You canprepare the filling ahead of time and store in an airtight containerin the fridge for up to 2 days.
• These piescan be cooked in the pie maker or in a muffin tin in the oven.
• Store leftover pies in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
