Cut 4 - 6 inch discs from pie dough. Use to line 4 - 4 inch pie dishes. Fill with beef mixture. Cut 4 - 5 inch discs from remaining pastry. Cover pies with pastry discs and use a fork to crimp edges to seal. Brush with beaten egg and prick tops with a fork. Bake for 20-25 mins, until golden brown. Serve with tomato sauce.
