Ranch Pies

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent.

3. Stir in the ranch seasoning mix, mixed vegetables, and cream of mushroom soup. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

4. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.

5. Roll out one of the refrigerated pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Using a round cutter or a glass, cut out circles from the dough, re-rolling scraps as needed.

6. Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef and vegetable filling onto one half of each circle, leaving a small border around the edge.

7. Brush the edges of the circles with the beaten egg and fold the other half over the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Press the edges together firmly with a fork to seal.

8. Transfer the pies to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining pie crust and filling.

9. Brush the tops of the pies with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

10. Using a sharp knife, make a small slit on the top of each pie to allow steam to escape during baking.

11. Bake the Ranch Pies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.

12. Remove from the oven and let the pies cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the delicious, comforting flavors of these Ranch Pies with your loved ones!
