BBQ Pork Meat Pie

By Jen Paleracio | November 24, 2020

It’s incredible how one recipe turns into many recipes.

If you make this PIE CRUST recipe you’ll be surprised how many different varieties of dishes you can create and enjoy! In this recipe, I made a very simple bbq sauce for the filling and added dried cranberries at the end of cooking. I like the tartness of the cranberries, but you can also use raisins for this recipe.

let’s start cooking!

I used ground pork and then cooked them. Cut the veggies the same size so they’ll cook the same time. I always saute my potatoes for a couple of minutes first, when the potatoes are browned, it releases so much flavor.
I made a simple bbq sauce. I combine soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, honey and tomato paste. I added garlic powder at the end of cooking.

FOR THE FILLING

  • Heat a pan with 2 tablespoon oil, add the ground pork to brown or until thoroughly cooked. Remove the cooked ground pork from the pan, set aside. Use the same pan, add the rest of the oil, saute garlic and onion for a minute or until the onion is tender. Season with salt and pepper, stir to combine.
  • Add the potatoes, saute for a couple of minutes. Cover the pan, cook the potatoes until tender, add a little bit of water when you see that the potatoes are sticking at the bottom, then stir. Once the potatoes are done cooking, add the rest of the veggies.
  • Add the cooked ground pork, stir to combine. Add dried cranberries, bbq sauce, garlic powder, and slurry (cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon of cold water). Stir to combine, simmer until thickened. Set aside to cool.

FOR THE BBQ SAUCE

  • Combine all the bbq sauce ingredients. Use a fork or whisk, mix until all incorporated.

FOR THE EGG WASH

  • Combine water and egg yolk. Stir until all incorporated.

FOR THE CRUST

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Roll the pie crust dough. Use a 3" circular cookie cutter or lid to cut the dough into circles.
  • Grease a muffin pan. Fit the cutout dough into each muffin cup. Press the dough to eliminate bubbles, use a fork and prick the bottom.
  • Fill each cup with the bbq pork filling. Cut a smaller size circular dough to cover the top of the pie. Use a fork and press the edges.
  • Brush with egg wash. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
