These pies were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have drained the meat more before adding it to the filling.

The filling was flavorful, but the pastry was a bit dry. I think I would have added more butter or shortening to the dough.

The recipe was easy to follow and the pies turned out delicious! I made a few changes, though. I used a store-bought pie crust and added some chopped onion and bell pepper to the filling. I also baked the pies instead of frying them.
