Cornish Pasties
3/4 cup diced potatoes
1/4 cup diced onions
1/4 cup diced carrots
1/2 lb. hamburger
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried parsley
1 pkg (8 rolls) refrigerated dinner roll dough
Preheat the oven to 350°.
Cook potatoes, onions and carrots in boiling water until just tender; drain well. Meanwhile, brown the hamburger and drain off the fat. Combine the vegetables, hamburger and spices.
Prepare pasties one at a time. Use a rolling pin to spread a roll into a 5"-round. Put 1/4 cup of filling in the center and draw the dough up around it, pinching the dough together in the middle to encase filling. Put the stuffed round pinched side down on a nonstick or lightly oiled baking sheet. Continue until all the rolls are used.
Bake at 350° for about 15 minutes, until rolls are golden. Serve warm. Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat before serving (or eat them cold if you prefer).
Note: You can also make Sloppy Joes, taco filling, or use leftover casseroles, etc., to fill pasties; the secret is to drain everything well to remove excess liquid. You can also make your own bread dough and pinch off roll-sized pieces for each pasty.
