Ingredients

2 cups shortening
2 cups boiling water
5-1/2 to 6 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
FILLING:
6 medium red potatoes (about 3 pounds), peeled

1 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork
2 medium onions, chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
3 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder

In a large bowl, stir shortening and water until shortening is melted. Gradually stir in flour and salt until a very soft dough is formed; cover and refrigerate for 1-1/2 hours. , Cut potatoes and rutabagas into 1/8- or 1/4-inch cubes; do not make cubes too large or they will not cook properly.

On a floured surface, roll out 1 portion at a time into a 8-in. circle. Mound 1-1/2 to 2 cups filling on half of each circle; dot with 1 teaspoon butter. Moisten edges with water; carefully fold dough over filling and press edges with a fork to seal. , Place on ungreased baking sheets. Cut several slits in top of pasties. If desired, brush with cream or beaten egg. Bake at 350° until golden brown, about 1 hour. Cool on wire racks. Serve hot or cold. Store in the refrigerator.

MICHIGAN HOT DOG

Michigan Hot Dog image

This regional specialty has a unique sauce which is typically slightly chunkier and thicker than most hot dog sauces. You'll often find this served on top-split buns, but regular hot dog buns will work. There are many versions of this sauce, but this is the way we like ours.
