Creamy Beef Fold Over Pie Food

CREAMY BEEF FOLD-OVER PIE

Steps:

• Move oven rack to lowest position; heat oven to 375°F. Spray 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray. In 10-inch skillet, cook beef and onion over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked; drain.
• Stir soup, vegetables and ketchup into beef mixture. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix and boiling water until soft dough forms. On surface sprinkled with Bisquick mix, gently roll dough to coat with mix. Shape dough into a ball; knead about 5 times or until smooth. Roll dough into 14-inch round; place on pizza pan.
• Spoon beef mixture over dough to within 2 inches of edge. Fold edge of dough up over beef mixture.
• Bake 24 to 27 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Top with cheese. Bake 3 to 4 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.

BEEF AND ONION PIE

Steps:

• Beef Filling:.
• Peel and roughly chop the onions, carrots and celery.
• Remove the rosemary leaves from the stalks and finely chop.
• Put a large pan over high heat and add about 2 T. olive oil, all the chopped veggies, rosemary and bay leaves. Stir every minute for about 10 minutes, or until the veggies are softened and lightly colored.
• Stir in the ground beef and break up any large pieces.
• Add the mustard, Marmite, Worcestershire sauce and 2 t. of flour.
• Add the beef broth and bring to a boil.
• Turn the heat down, put a lid on, and simmer for about an hour. Make sure you stir it every so often. If at the end of the cook time the mixture is too soupy you can either thicken it with a little Wondra or flour or simply use a slotted spoon to get the meat mixture out without any excess liquid.
• Pie:.
• Remove the pastry from the refrigerator 10 minues before you need to roll it.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Fill a large baking dish with the beef filling and let it cool. (OR if you prefer to have a 2 crust pie, then first layer the baking dish with 1 pie pastry before adding the beef filling.).
• Dust a clean work surface and a rolling pin with some flour and lay the pie dough one on top of the other. Fold in half and roll the dough to 1/8-inch thick. Once it's large enough to cover the top of your serving dish, wind the pastry around your rolling pin and unroll it over the dish. Just patch up any rips or tears. Run a knife around the edge of the dish to trim off any extra dough. (OR don't put them together and use one for the bottom of your pie and the other for the top.).
• Using a fork, press down all around the edge of the dough to crimp it closed.
• Make a hole in the middle of the dough, using the tip of a knife.
• Brush the top of the dough with the beaten egg (or milk).
• Bake on the bottom rack of your preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp.

CREAMED BEEF

Steps:

• Place the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium high heat. Saute for 5 to 10 minutes, or until beef is browned and onion is translucent; set aside.
• Melt the butter or margarine in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and add the flour, mixing thoroughly.
• Add the milk slowly, stirring constantly, and return to the heat. Keep stirring until thickened to desired consistency.
• Add the reserved beef mixture, the peas, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

CREAMED BEEF

Steps:

• Saute the beef in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon and cooking until it is no longer pink, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain off the excess fat and sprinkle the meat with the flour. Stir and cook the beef and flour over medium heat until the flour has completely coated the beef and cooked slightly. Stir in the milk and continue to cook until the mixture becomes smooth and thickens, about 8 minutes. Add the salt and pepper. Serve over toast triangles. Top with a pat of butter.

CHERRY FOLDITUP

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the flour mixture and pour in water and vodka, if using. Toss with a fork until flour mixture is moistened, then use your hands to bring dough together into a ball. Flatten into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Roll dough into a large disk about 13 inches wide and 1/8-inch thick. Transfer dough to the prepared baking sheet.
• Pour cherry filling into the middle of the dough, leaving a 3-inch border. Fold the outside edge of the dough over the fruit, making occasional pleats.
• Brush milk over dough; generously sprinkle with sugar. Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden and the fruit is bubbling, 35 minutes.

CREAMY CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM PIES

Steps:

• For the pies: Place a large sheet pan on a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, tossing the mushrooms occasionally, until they soften and turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the chicken, mustard and chives. Add the cream cheese and stir until the cheese is melted. Remove from the heat.
• Lightly flour a work surface and roll the pastry into an 11-inch square. Cut the pastry in half. Divide the chicken and mushroom mixture in half and place each half on one end of each rectangle of pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides.
• Brush the border with the egg and fold over the other half of the puff pastry. Use a fork to crimp and seal the edges. Cut slits in the tops of the pies to vent. Brush the tops of the pies lightly with the egg. Transfer the pies to the hot baking sheet and bake until deep golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, for the salad: Whisk together the lemon juice, oil and mustard in a large bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Fold in the thinly sliced onions and toss occasionally to soften, 5 to 10 minutes.
• When ready to serve, toss the lettuce and chives into the dressing.

FINNISH MEATLOAF/FINNISH MEAT PIES

• In frying pan add margarine, mushroom, onion and bread. Fry until onion, mushrooms and bread are slightly browned.
• In large bowl, mix meats together, add vegetables,bread pieces, parsley and 3/4 cup cheese. Mix together.
• Add evaporated milk and pepper and mix.
• Place in loaf pan.

• Bake one hour. Makes 8 large slices.
• For: Pies.
• Roll out pie crust pastry for each slice.
• Place slice or half slice on one half of pastry.
• Add tomato, then onion, then sour cream.
• Fold over. Seal edges with the tines of a fork.
• Make as many pies as desired.
• In a cup, beat egg and water.
• Brush egg wash over the pastries.
• Preheat oven 425*.
• Bake until golden brown about 20 minutes.
• This is a basic satisfying taste recipe, no heart stopping spice, or zesty tomato or zingy hot pepper. You will taste the cheese and that is the idea. My personal addition is to add 1/2 tsp creamy horseradish sauce before I seal the edges of the pastry but it is not called for in the recipe.

RASPBERRY CREAM CHEESE PIE RECIPE
