Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 Small onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cups Mashed potatoes
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 Frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
• 1 Egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the salt, black pepper, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to incorporate the flavors. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir in the cooked beef mixture until well combined.

Step 6

Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, making a total of 8 squares.

Step 7

Place a generous spoonful of the beef and potato filling in the center of each pastry square.

Step 8

Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges with a fork to seal them securely.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the puffs with the beaten egg to give them a golden, glossy finish.

Step 10

Place the puffs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Step 11

Let the puffs cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
