Favorite Cornish Pasties image

Years ago, when bakeries in my Midwestern hometown made pasties, people scrambled to get there before they were all gone. Now I make my own...filled with meat, potatoes and vegetables, they make a complete meal and are great for picnics or potlucks. -Gayle Lewis Yucaipa, California

I'm not a fan of the traditional beef filling. I prefer to make these pasties with a vegetable filling.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made these pasties with a vegetable filling. They were just as good as the traditional beef pasties.

These pasties are a great way to use up leftover beef. I always have some leftover roast beef in my fridge, and this is the perfect way to use it up.

I love that these pasties can be made ahead of time. I made a batch on Sunday and then reheated them for dinner during the week.

I'm not a big fan of pasties, but I have to admit that these were really good. The crust was crispy and the filling was moist and flavorful.
