SWEDISH MEAT PIES

Swedish Meat Pies image

According to "sweetpoison343" on allrecipes, this is a knockoff of a dish served at the Scandinavian Festival in Junction City, Oregon. When I asked my son if they reminded him of his trip to Sweden, he launched into lengthy, happy reminiscences of his trip, so I guess these tasted authentic! The sour cream pastry is lovely. I served them with Recipe #169055.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1 lb ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 pinch ground nutmeg
2 large red potatoes, grated
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup shortening
6 tablespoons sour cream

Steps:

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Crumble in the ground beef and add onion, parsley, allspice, dill, nutmeg and grated potatoes. Cook and stir until the meat is browned. Drain any excess grease. Turn off the heat and stir in the cheese until melted. Set aside to cool.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Mix in the shortening with a fork or pastry cutter until only pea sized lumps remain. Stir in sour cream a little bit at a time until the dough holds together. Knead briefly on a lightly floured surface. Divide into four equal portions, and pat into balls. (If making 4, these are very large - could easily be made into 6 or even 8 meat pies.).
Roll out each ball of dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Place a heaping 1/2 cup of filling onto each one. Fold over into half circles, and seal by moistening the edges with warm water and pressing together. Place on a baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown.
