Ground Beef Pasties

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 onion, diced
• 5-6 medium-sized red potatoes, cubed
• 2 c. diced veggies (fresh or frozen)
• 1/2 t. garlic powder
• 1 t. Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Homemade pie crust or store-bought (enough for 3 -4 crusts)
• 1 egg yolk, beaten
• 1/4 T. butter or margarine
• 1/4 c. flour
• 2 c. beef stock, broth or bullion cubes
• 2 t. Worcestershire sauce
• 1 t. Italian seasoning

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large skillet, cook ground beef and onion for 5 minutes. Stir in potatoes and fresh veggies, if using. Stir in seasonings. Cook until potatoes are fork tender, about 15-20 minutes. (If using frozen veggies, stir into skillet shortly before removing from heat.) Cool.

2. Roll out dough into a circle, about the size of a small plate. (If using store bought dough, cut each piece of dough into fourths and roll into a circle.) Place about 1/3 c. beef filling into the center of each dough circle. Fold over, seal and roll edges.

3. Brush each pasty with beaten egg yolk and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until golden and pie crust is fully cooked.

4. While pasties cook, melt butter or margarine in a small saucepan. Whisk in flour and cook 2 minutes. Whisk in beef stock, bring to a slow boil and boil until thickened. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and Italian seasoning.

5. Serve pasties with gravy on the side for dipping or poured on top.
