Notes: Some people prefer to reverse the proportions of beef and pork. Do not use oil as the pastry will fall apart. Some prefer to bake the pies versus deep fry. You may not want to add bell peppers or celery. Some add red peppers, chili powder and garlic to meat mixture as a variation.
Can make pastry and mixture one day and then fill and bake at another time or day.
Kids loved me to freeze them and they could take them out and bake when I was late getting home from work.
Also can save time and use Refrigerated Pie Crusts and just roll thin and cut and fill.
