Who doesn’t enjoy a good pie regularly? Boy, I sure do. So when I stumbled across the concept of baked hand pies or sandwiches in one of my recipe books, I just had to make my own. They are not only visually stunning to look at but I was quite certain equally as appetizing.

The hand pie comes swaddled in a dough of ingredients and is baked and served up nice and warm. So here is what I put together for my particular savory hand pie recipe—Sausage and Cannellini Bean Hand Pies.
