These pasties were a disappointment. The filling was dry and the pastry was tough.

These pasties were a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The pastry was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll roll it out thinner next time.

The filling was a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

These pasties were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I didn't have any rutabagas, so I used turnips instead. The pasties still turned out great and my family loved them.

These pasties were easy to make and they turned out great! I used a store-bought pie crust to save time and they still came out delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of meat pies, but I have to say that these pasties were really good. The filling was flavorful and the pastry was flaky. I'd definitely make these again.

These pasties are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I usually make a double batch and freeze half for later.

I used ground turkey instead of beef and it turned out great! The pasties were still very flavorful and juicy.

I've made these pasties several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The only thing I do differently is add a little bit of garlic powder to the filling. Yum!

These Michigan pasties were a hit with my family! The filling was savory and flavorful, and the pastry was flaky and golden brown. I'll definitely be making these again.
