Instructions

Sauté the veggies in the olive oil until tender. Add the ground meat, and sautée, stirring frequently, until barely brown.
Stir in condiments, spices, and brown sugar. Continue to sautée, stirring frequently until the sauce is mostly absorbed and not too runny.
Using a small saucer as a template, use a sharp paring knife to cut 12 circles out of the sheets of pie crust.
Place a generous 3 tbsp of sloppy joe filling in the center of each circle. Fold in half and crimp the edges.
Place on cookie sheet and bake according to pie crust directions until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet and place on cool surface. Let cool for a few minutes and enjoy while very warm.
