Meat Pocket Pies Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Combine ground lamb, diced onion, and diced pepper in cast iron skillet. Saute over medium-high heat while stirring in wine. As lamb browns, add carrots, mushrooms and seasonings. Mix well.
  • When lamb and onions are cooked through, add milk and let come to a boil. Turn down heat and stir in flour to make a thick "gravy". (Note: you don't want this to be too thin that it seeps out of your pies.)
  • Turn off heat and let sit. To prepare pie crust, combine flour, salt, and shortening. Try not to use hands as this will warm up the dough too much. In separate bowl, combine water, beaten egg, and vinegar. Stir this into the flour mix thoroughly and let sit for about 5 min. If wanted, stir in your favorite savory seasonings before letting sit.
  • Roll out pie crusts and using a fair sized bowl, cut circles from the dough. Make sure these circles aren't sticking to your counter and lay flat. Place a small piece of cheese on one side. Scoop a small bit of filling into circle away from edges (amount will vary on circle size). Fold it over on itself and press the edges down. Using a fork, make a couple holes on top, and for decorative purposes, use tines to create indentations around edge.
  • Bake at 350* until pies are golden brown. These are great served with mustard dipping sauce, sour cream, or any other favorite accompaniment. Enjoy!
  • Other variations could include beef, pork, sausage, different veggies, and different spices.
  • **This recipe makes twice the filling than than the pie crust will hold. The other half can be frozen for another time, more crust made, or put it in a casserole dish, top with mashed potatoes and have shepherd's pie!

    Great post - I'm not a lamb fan but will definitely give this a try with beef. Thanks for the post.
