Pasties AKA: A Miners Letter from home
contributed by christy
We live in a mining community and this is a popular food from our history.
1 lb hamburger, coarse ground beef or tradionaly a stew type beef tenderized.
3-4 potatoes peeled and grated
1/2 onion diced
1/4 t pepper
1/2 t salt
Mix all together.
Make batch of Pie crust.
Take enough crust to roll into a 6-8" circle. Or bigger if you have big appetites. Place meat mixture on half and fold. roll and crimp edges.( These will look like a large apple tart.)
Place on cookie sheet. Brush tops with cream or egg and a sprinkle of sugar. Bake at 350 for 1 hr. If crust starts to get to dark, cover with foil.
Serve with brown gravey or ketchup.
