FAMILY FAVORITE PASTIES (MEAT PIES)
These bundles of hot, satisfying yumminess are sold throughout northern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan at restaurants and roadside stands. Although there is a great deal of heated family debate over whose are best, you won't be disappointed with these. The older women (...and men) throughout the region make these by the hundreds...

Steps:
- 1. Crust: Cut shortening into flour and salt. Add water just until you have a dough that is no longer sticky (like pie crust). Mix until well blended. Form into 4 balls. (You can chill dough at this point, but I usually don't.) Roll into four 8" circles. Cover with waxed paper until ready to use.
- 2. Meat Filling: Combine beef, onion, rutabaga, potatoes, salt, pepper and parsley in a large bowl.
- 3. Put approximately 1 cup of filling onto right side of dough, dot with butter and fold in half. Brush edges with milk, then crimp edges securely to hold filling while it bakes.
- 4. Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and cut two or three 1/2" slices in the top to allow steam to escape. Brush with milk, if desired. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 1 hour or until golden. They will smell AMAZING while baking!
- 5. Traditionally served with ketchup, although I've also seen them served with gravy... which is another whole, big heated debate!
