I always found the food of Louisiana so delicious. These meat pies are my version of the region's cuisine. I have a small air fryer, so I cook them one at a time, but larger air fryers can accommodate more. —Kristyne Mcdougle Walter, Lorain, Ohio

Ingredients

1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound uncooked breakfast sausage links, casings removed
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 large sweet red pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup vegetable broth
3 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 large egg, beaten

Directions

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add beef, sausage, celery, sweet red pepper and onion. Cook until meat is no longer pink and vegetables are tender, 6-8 minutes, breaking up meat into crumbles; drain. Return to pan. Stir in flour and seasonings until blended; gradually whisk in broth. Cook and stir until thickened, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat air fryer to 360°. On a lightly floured surface, unfold puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into six 4-1/2x3-in. rectangles. Divide filling between centers of 9 pastry rectangles. Brush edges of pastry with beaten egg. Top with remaining pastry rectangles; press edges with a fork to seal. Prick tops with a fork and brush with beaten egg.
In batches, place pies in a single layer in greased air fryer. Cook until golden brown, 10-12 minutes.
