Description

We had lots of leftovers when we sampled Leona's pot roast in out test kitchen, so our staff came up with this recipe for fast-to-fix pasties. Just tuck the cooked roast beef, carrots, potatoes and onion into pie pastry-your family will be amazed at the tender and flaky results!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cubed cooked roast beef (1/4-inch pieces)
  • 1-1/2 cup finely chopped cooked potatoes
  • 1 cup beef gravy
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped cooked onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches)
  • half-and-half cream

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the first 9 ingredients; set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll out a fourth of the dough into an 8-in. circle. Mound 1 cup filling on half of circle. Moisten edges with water; fold crust over filling and press the edges with a fork to seal.
  2. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Cut slits in top of each; brush with cream. Bake at 450° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
