Mini Meat Pies

I got this recipe from the Food Network Magazine, and they are super easy to make. They are a great hearty snack, or might be good to make for a party. I doubled this recipe, and stuck them in the freezer after they cooled. Microwave the frozen pies for a minute, and they are a healthy alternative to hot pockets.

-1/2 pound of sausage
-1/4 chopped onion
-1 diced celery stalk
-1 diced carrot
-1/2 cup mashed potatoes
-salt
-pepper
-1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
-1 egg

Brown the sausage in a skillet with the onion, celery, and carrot. Add the mashed potatoes, salt, and pepper. The biscuit dough will probably be precut into twelve 3- inch rounds. It not, roll out the dough, and cut the rounds. Top each with a spoonful of meat filling and fold in half. Pinch to seal and brush with a beaten egg. I forgot to make slits in the top, but you should. Bake at 350 degrees until golden, about 15 minutes.
