Calories: 165kcal
Ingredients
- 1 15-oz box store-bought pie crusts
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 15-oz can Sloppy Joe sauce
- 4 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Gather the ingredients for your air fryer hand pies.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F.
- Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts and cut out circles with a round cookie cutter.
- Brown the ground beef in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Drain any grease and season with salt and pepper. Lower the heat, then add the sloppy joe sauce. Stir, bring to a simmer, and cook for a few more minutes until the mixture thickens. Set aside to cool completely.
- Place a tablespoon of the ground beef mixture in the center of one circle.
- Top with some shredded cheddar cheese, then place another circle of dough over it.
- Crimp the edges with a fork to secure the hand pie. Spray with cooking spray. Repeat with the remaining pie crust circles and filling.
- Place the air fryer sloppy joes in the air fryer basket and cook for 6 to 8 minutes.
- Cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can use a small plate as a guide and cut around it with a paring knife if you don't have a cookie cutter.
- To avoid soggy pies, chill the crust before use and cool the sloppy joe filling before assembly.
- Skip the boring sides and serve these mini sloppy joe pies with crispy accordion potatoes, Cafe Rio salad, air fryer corn ribs, or oven-baked pasta chips!
