Quick & Easy Mini Meat Pies #5Fix

1. 1

   Divide the mashed potatoes in half, returning one half to the bag to refreeze, thaw the remaining half and set aside.

2. 2

   Thaw and drain 1/2 bag (about 8 oz.) of the peas and carrots, and place in a medium bowl.

3. 3

   Over medium heat cook the sausage (the meat having been removed from the casing) and the onion in a nonstick skillet, stirring, until the sausage is browned and the onions are translucent, about 8 minutes. Drain off the grease and pour the meat-onion mix into a large bowl, set aside.

4. 4

   In the same pan, with any residual grease left in the pan, cook the peas and carrots for another 2 minutes.

5. 5

   Pour the peas and carrots into the meat mixture, then fold in the thawed (10 ounces portion) of the mashed potatoes.

6. 6

   With a rolling pin, roll out the biscuit dough and cut into 12 (3-inch) rounds.

7. 7

   Preheat oven to 350F degrees.

8. 8

   Put a generous tablespoonful of the filling in the center of each round, brush the edges with water, and fold in half. Seal the edges with a fork. Cut 2 small slits in the top of each meat pie.

9. 9

   Put the mini-pies on an un-greased baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove, let cool slightly, and serve.
