2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
•

2 cubes beef bouillon

½ teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in the hot skillet until meat is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Add 3/4 cup water, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, bouillon cubes, oregano, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until combined, about 10 minutes.
Mix cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water together in a bowl to form a paste; stir into meat mixture. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat.
Use a 4-inch biscuit cutter to cut pie dough into 12 circles. Line each prepared muffin cup with a circle, pressing into the bottom and sides. Fill each with meat mixture.
Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut puff pastry dough into 12 circles. Top each filled muffin cup with a circle and seal edges together. Brush pastry tops with beaten egg.
Bake in the preheated oven until crusts are brown and flaky, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool pies in the muffin tin before removing, about 10 minutes.
