Ghost Taco Hand Pies are a fun and festive Halloween treat everyone will enjoy. They’re customizable and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Lean Ground Beef (or Ground Turkey/Chicken)
  • 1 tbsp Taco Seasoning (use homemade for healthier option)
  • 1 cup Shredded Carrot (or finely chopped zucchini/bell peppers)
  • 1 cup Chopped Bell Pepper (or Baby Spinach)
  • 2 pcs Pie Crusts (use homemade if preferred)
  • 1 cup Shredded Mexican Cheese (substitute with mozzarella)
  • 1 pcs Egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 cup Salsa (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown one pound of lean ground beef for about 6-8 minutes until fully cooked. Drain excess fat and mix in taco seasoning along with any optional veggies. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until softened.
  2. Roll out one pie crust to about 1/8-inch thick. Use ghost-shaped cookie cutters to cut out an equal number of shapes for the top and bottom.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay half of the ghost shapes down. Spoon about a tablespoon of taco filling onto each shape and sprinkle shredded Mexican cheese on top. Place the remaining shapes with cut-out eyes and mouths over the filled shapes before crimping the edges.
  4. Whisk together one egg with a splash of water or milk to create an egg wash. Gently coat the tops of the assembled hand pies.
  5. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the hand pies for 10-14 minutes until golden brown. Remove and let cool before serving.

Notes

  • Customize the filling with your favorite vegetables.
  • Use store-bought crust for quicker preparation.
  • These can be made ahead and frozen.
