Meat Pie Roll Style W Sauce Recipes

MEAT PIE- ROLL STYLE W/ SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large frying pan coated with oil, cook all of the grounded meats together until just done. Add diced onion, garlic and all herbs and seasonings. Cook until the onions are translucent and remove from the heat. In a large mixing bowl combine all dry ingredients and mix well. With a pastry cutter or a fork cut in the shortening until mixture resemble course meal. Add water a little at a time until a dough forms. Cut dough in half and roll out each half of dough on floured surface creating a long and equally wide oblong or oval shape. Spread meat mixture onto dough surface covering most of the surface except edges. Roll one end of the dough and meat to the other and seal the edges on all sides. Place seam down on a baking tray and bake for 30-40 mins at 350 until dough is golden brown.
• While baking the meat rolls, prepare the sauce. In a sauce pan saute on medium high heat your vegetables and seasonings in oil until halfway cooked through. Add spaghetti sauce and lower heat to medium low and bring mixture to a boil. Lower heat to low and simmer the sauce until the veggies are tender. At this point, depending on how many rolls you have made and how many people are eating, you can add 1-2 cups water to the sauce and season accordingly. Mix the 1/4 cup cold water to 2 tbs corn starch and add to bubbling sauce mix. Stir until thickened to your liking.
• To serve, slice rolls creating little swirled rounds and serve with sauce glazed over the top or sauce first and rolls placed on top. Enjoy!

CHEESY BEEF CRESCENT ROLL PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cook and stir ground beef and onion in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Return to medium heat, add spaghetti sauce and diced tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
• Unroll crescent dough and arrange triangles over cheese in the skillet. Brush with butter; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

MEAT PIES

Steps:

• For the crust: Put the frozen rolls on a baking sheet. Cover with a tea towel and let thaw and rise for 2 to 3 hours.
• For the filling: Add the oil to a large skillet and set it over medium heat. Cook the peppers and onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes and garlic, then cook for another minute. Transfer to a bowl or plate and set aside.
• Put the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the beef and cook, breaking up any lumps. Add the chili powder, cumin and 3/4 teaspoon salt and cook until the meat is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the tomato paste and 1/4 cup water and stir until combined. Mix in the cooked vegetables. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool. When the meat is cool, add the cheese and parsley, then season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• To form: Roll out each dinner roll on a lightly floured surface into a 4-inch circle about 1/4 inch thick. Put 1 1/2 tablespoons of the meat mixture in the center of each circle. Brush around the outside of the circles with the egg wash and fold over the dough to form half-moon shapes. Press the edges together and crimp them with a fork. Put on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush the tops with the egg wash.
• Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

OUR FAVORITE ITALIAN MEAT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375*.
• Brown ground beef and onions, seasoning with salt and pepper. Drain well.
• Put meat back into pan and add enough spaghetti sauce to coat the meat well but not make it soupy (usually about half a jar for me). I like Ragu Old World Style, Mushroom Flavor.
• Stir in the mushrooms if your family will eat them!
• Line an 8x8 pan with about 6 of the crescent rolls (I use Pillsbury Reduced Fat crescent rolls and they work fine!), sealing the seams by smooshing them together and making the rolls go about an inch up the sides of the pan.
• Mix the beaten egg with one cup of shredded mozzarella (I use the 2% shredded cheese and that works well!), then spread it evenly over the top of the crescent rolls.
• Top egg and cheese layer with ground beef mixture.
• Sprinkle remaining cup of cheese over the top of the meat layer.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is nicely melted and lightly browned and crescent rolls crust is done.
• Roll up remaining crescent rolls and bake along side the meat pie.
• Let meat pie rest on the counter or table for about 5 minutes or so to make it easier to serve.
• Serve the meat pie with the crescent rolls and a great salad. Enjoy!
