Family Favorite Pasties (Meat Pies) image

These bundles of hot, satisfying yumminess are sold throughout northern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan at restaurants and roadside stands. Although there is a great deal of heated family debate over whose are best, you won't be disappointed with these. The older women (...and men) throughout the region make these by the hundreds...

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 15

use a prepared 2 crust pie crust or...
CRUST:
2 c flour
2/3 c crisco
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c cold water
FILLING:
1 lb coarsley ground beef or chopped steak
1/2 c onion, chopped
1 1/2 c rutabaga (if you don't like, use 3 c potatoes)
1 1/2 c diced potatoes
1 1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 Tbsp parsley, optional
butter to dot with

Steps:

  • 1. Crust: Cut shortening into flour and salt. Add water just until you have a dough that is no longer sticky (like pie crust). Mix until well blended. Form into 4 balls. (You can chill dough at this point, but I usually don't.) Roll into four 8" circles. Cover with waxed paper until ready to use.
  • 2. Meat Filling: Combine beef, onion, rutabaga, potatoes, salt, pepper and parsley in a large bowl.
  • 3. Put approximately 1 cup of filling onto right side of dough, dot with butter and fold in half. Brush edges with milk, then crimp edges securely to hold filling while it bakes.
  • 4. Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and cut two or three 1/2" slices in the top to allow steam to escape. Brush with milk, if desired. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 1 hour or until golden. They will smell AMAZING while baking!
  • 5. Traditionally served with ketchup, although I've also seen them served with gravy... which is another whole, big heated debate!

These pasties were perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used pre-made pie crusts to save time, and the pasties were still delicious. My family loved them!
