Method

500 g. Ground Beef
1 Onion, Finely Chopped
1 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce

2 Puff Pastry
1 Egg, Beaten

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

Cook the ground beef and onion in a frying pan until browned. Add the Worcestershire sauce and stir until combined.

Cut the puff pastry into circles and line individual pie tins with it.

Fill the pastry with the meat mixture and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Cover with another circle of pastry.
