Ingredients: Red potatoes, green cabbage, carrots, Worcestershire Sauce, thyme, beef sirloin, pie crust. I modified Martha's recipe by adding the diced the carrots, and increasing the Worcheshire sauce and thyme.
Shred a 1/4 head of green cabbage and dice the potatoes and carrots.
Brown the veggies over medium heat in a saucepan with the oil.
Add the beef and cook til brown. Add the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and a cup of water.
Simmer until soft and mashable. Meanwhile, roll out two 9" pie crusts into 14" squares. Cut the squares into 1/4ths.
Dollop a spoonful of the mixture onto one half of a square. Fold crust over, and seal with fork tines. Place hand pies onto a foil lined baking dish.
In a 400 degree oven, bake pies for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
For freezer meals, put the remaining unbaked pies on a sheet and put in the freezer for one hour. Remove, wrap individually in tin foil, place into a Ziploc bag, and freeze for up to two months. To cook from frozen state, increase baking time to 30 minutes.
At the risk of resembling my college cafeteria cook, I am going to start using this pie crust idea to revive leftover casseroles and stews.
