Crust:

3 Cups Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp salt
1 Cup Vegetable Shortening
1 Cup Water

Mix the dry ingredients together and cut in the shortening, like you were making pie crust. Add water and mix well. This will be a very pliable dough.

Filling:

1-1/2 pounds of course ground hamburger or round steak, in bite sized pieces
3-4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 onion, chopped
Salt and Pepper, to taste

Mix all ingredients together and set aside.

Divide dough into roughly 12 equal pieces. Roll dough into a circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Put about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of filling in the center of the dough. Dot filling with butter and fold dough over the filling to form a half circle. Seal the edges by folding one edge over the other or use the tines of a fork to press the edges closed.

Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking for an additional 60 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve with brown gravy or ketchup.
