Vegetable Beef Puff Pastry Pasties
Makes 4-6
Ingredients:

10 oz ground beef
1 onion, diced
1 carrot, diced
1 potato, diced
½ cup shredded cheese of choice
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 sheet phyllo dough
1 egg, beaten

Instructions:


Heat oil in a large skillet.

Sauté in the heated skillet the ground beef, carrots, onions, and potato until beef is fully cooked. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let cool.

Roll out puff pastry and cut into 6-inch rounds.

Portion the filling into the center of each round. Add a small amount of cheese.

Brush the rim of each pastry with egg and bring the sides up to meet in the center. Pinch the edges and shape into uniform ovals.

Place pastries on a prepared baking sheet and brush with remaining egg. Slit each pasty on either side of the seam to allow steam to escape while cooking.

Bake pasties in a 375 degree F oven for approximately 15 minutes, until golden brown.

Remove pasties from oven and serve warm. Watch cheese will be very hot.
