To make the beef filling: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and diced Scotch bonnet pepper until soft, about 2 minutes. Stir in ground beef; season with 1 teaspoon curry powder, allspice, ground cloves, thyme, pepper, and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until beef is evenly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Crumble in bouillon cube and stir in 1/2 cup of water and browning sauce until well combined; add bay leaf and simmer until liquid is absorbed. Remove skillet from heat; discard bay leaf and stir in bread crumbs.
