I made passties today, and thought I'd share the recipe

'Just wanted to share my method:

1 lb cooked pork loin

1 cup cooked onions

1 1/2 cups leftover potatoes

salt, pepper, parsley

2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough

I had some leftover pork in the refrigerator (had been seasoned with garlic and rosemary when cooked it) and so I didn't start with raw, as directions said. Me? Follow instructions?

I chopped the pork and combined it with some caramelized onions that I made over the weekend. Then added some leftover potatoes, diced, and set it aside.

I didn't feel like using the puff pastry that I had because I didn't know how these things would turn out, so I grabbed a couple of cans of refrigerated Pillsbury "grands" that I had, and separated the rounds, took 2 of them, and flattened them into a 4-inch round. Spread the pork mixture into one side of each round, and baked them on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 27 minutes. I had no recipe, so i had to keep guessing when they'd be done, but 27 was it.

Since I had some meat mixture leftover, I tried making some with pie crust that I had, and made some with just onion, too.

They turned out very good! I had one for lunch, and am hoping I can reheat them to serve tonight for dinner

I read that they originated in the UK for miners to take into the mines for a quick, hearty lunch, so it's fitting because I'm half-Welsh and half-English, and my grandmother's family was from Cornwall, the county where the passties originated!

 
Yum! My mom's recipe uses beef, like a London broil...

and chopped, with lots of onion and carrot and I can't remember if there were potatoes. She insists there must be lots of pepper. They're placed in regular pie dough and baked and I really need to make some! I wonder if I can use pork mince instead? You've got me thinking fun things for the weekend Dawn, thank you!

 
If you mean minced pork, yes, that's what I did. Just about anything is good in

them, but I guess potatoes and parsnips(?) are traditional. I wouldn't put parsnips in them if you paid me to! :eek:)
