• The Donovan’s Irish Pasties

Ingredients

• 1 lb. roast beef, cooked and cubed (if you aren't using leftover roast, just cook the roast in the crock pot with some water and onion soup mix and whatever seasonings you like)
• 3-4 potatoes, cooked and cut in small cubes. (You can also use the frozen hashbrown cubes. Throw them in while still frozen. They will cook in the oven. It tastes JUST as good as using fresh potatoes.. it's just a lot easier)
• salt and pepper
• 1 box pie crusts (can be found by the butter in the grocery store)
• Beef gravy, prepared
• BEEF GRAVY:
• Drippings from beef roast
• 1 to 2 cups water
• 2 tsp. beef bouillon
• 2 Tbsp. corn starch mixed with 1/4 c. water
• salt and pepper

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix the roast, potatoes, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Unroll the pie crusts and cut in half. Put a good amount of filling in each crust, fold over, and seal. Place each pastry on a greased cookie sheet. Make a couple of small slits in the top of each crust. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and brush with some melted butter. Serve with gravy or if you are my Dad... ketchup. (Makes 4)
• For Beef Gravy: Bring ingredients to a boil to thicken, stirring constantly with a whisk.
