Irish Pasties

An Irish meal, pronounced "PASS-tees." I found this recipe when I needed a dinner with ground beef. It's a keeper!

1 onion, diced
butter
1 Lb. ground beef (you can use shredded crock pot roast instead)
3-4 potatoes, thinly sliced (you can also use bagged frozen, cubed hash browns)
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
black pepper, to taste
2 Tbsp. parsley flakes
Double Pie Crust recipe
brown gravy, prepared (optional)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Saute onion in a little bit of the butter. When onions are clear, add ground beef. When beef is browned, stir in potatoes. Add garlic salt, garlic powder, pepper, and parsley. Cook until potatoes are a little soft (skip this part if using the frozen hash browns), but still have a TINY crunch.Divide dough in two and roll into circles; put a good amount of the filling on half of the crust. Fold the crust over the filling, seal, and place on a greased cookie sheet (so it looks like a big calzone). Make a couple small slits in the top of each crust. Place in pre-heated oven for 14-20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Remove from oven, spread a little butter over the top, cut in half, and serve (each pie crust will make 2 pasties, so 4 total..). Serve with gravy or ketchup.
