Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp. cold water, divided
1/2 lb. lean ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1/3 cup HEINZ Tomato Ketchup
1 cup KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 egg

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375ºF.
  • Mix flour and baking powder in medium bowl. Cut in shortening with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add 1/4 cup water, stirring until mixture forms ball. Knead dough on lightly floured surface 5 min. or until smooth and elastic. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap; refrigerate while preparing filling.
  • Brown meat with onions in large nonstick skillet; drain. Add ketchup; cook and stir on medium heat 2 min. Cool completely.
  • Divide dough into 6 pieces. Roll out each piece on lightly floured surface to 7-inch round; place on parchment-covered baking sheet. Stir cheese into meat mixture; spoon about 1/3 cup onto half of each dough round. Beat egg and remaining water; brush onto edges of dough rounds. Fold in half to enclose filling. Press tops lightly to remove excess air; seal edges with fork. Brush tops with remaining egg.
  • Bake 18 to 20 min. or until golden brown.
