Pasties - which are meat-filled turnovers - came from England along with the Cornish who settled in America. Years ago, miners and woodsmen throughout the Midwest relished having these pasties in their lunch boxes.

I love that these pasties can be made ahead of time and frozen. It's so convenient to have a few pasties on hand for a quick and easy meal.

These pasties are a great way to use up leftover meat and vegetables. I often make them with leftover roast beef or chicken.

These pasties were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if I had used less butter in the crust.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pasties turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These pasties were okay, but I've definitely had better. The crust was a bit too thick and the filling was a bit bland.

I'm not a huge fan of pasties, but these were actually really good. The crust was flaky and the filling was savory and flavorful.
