1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed

Directions:
1. 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 heat and stir in the cheese until melted. Set aside to cool.
2. Preheat oven at 400*F
3. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Mix in the shortening with a fork or pastry cutter until only pea size lumps remain. Stir in sour cream a little bit at a time until the dough holds together. Knead briefly on a floured surface. Divide into four equal portions and pat into balls.
4. Roll out each ball of dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Place a heaping 1/2 cup of filling into each one. Fold over into half circles, and seal by moistening the edges with warm water and pressing together. Place on a baking sheet.
5. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown.
