Stages of cooking
-
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 7 to 8 minutes. Add bell pepper and garlic; cook and stir until tender, 2 to 3 more minutes.
-
Add 1 cup beef broth, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper; bring to a simmer. Add remaining 1 cup broth and reduce heat to low. Simmer until mixture becomes very thick, 30 to 45 minutes. Taste and adjust for salt, pepper, and cayenne as needed.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl.
-
Roll out both pie crusts on a lightly floured surface and cut out six 5-inch circles. Place a slice of Cheddar cheese in the center of each circle and top with Sloppy Joe mixture. Fold dough and seal the edges using a fork. Brush the outsides with egg wash and place hand pies on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
