Banger and Mash Hand Pie
I was craving something simple and yet slightly Irish/English that I could easily make. I have always loved Bangers and Mash but didn't feel like having the traditional sit down meal. This is one of the perfect weeknight meals that you can whip up in a hurry for the family or for yourself if on the go. Great flavors all in one handful. Banger and Mash Hand Pie
Ingredients:
- 2-4 Bangers casing removed, (I used Brats as that is what I had)
- 1/2 white onion sliced
- Left over mashed potato
- 1 store bought pie crust
- 1 tbs Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbs Sugar
- 1 tsp dried Thyme
- Salt/Pepper
1. In a large skillet over medium heat sauté onions in a bit of butter until caramelized.
2. Add in a splash of balsamic vinegar and 1 tbs sugar to help the caramelizing process and give some more flavor the the onions.
3. While doing this you can push them off to the side and toss in the bangers to brown. Break up the sausage into pieces.
4. Now roll out your store bought pie crust and cut into about 6 inch diameter circles using a cup, cutter, or bowl. Should get about 6. Do another pie crust the same way so to get tops for each pie. Total 12 in all.
5. Take a spoon full of leftover mashed potatoes and spread in the center.
6. Top with some sausage/onion mixture and cover with another pie crust.
7. Crimp the sides with a fork and slice 2 slits in the top of each one for steam to release.
8. Cook in a 350 F degree oven for roughly 20 minutes or until golden brown.
