Make well in middle of flour mixture.

Continue making pies until all meat is used up. You may have to make another recipe of dough to use all of the meat.
Heat oil. Once hot - fry meat pies in oil until light brown (make sure edges of pies are sealed so they don't open up in the oil). Drain on paper towels. Freeze until ready to eat.

Notes: I usually make the filling a day or two before I am going to make the pies. It allows the meat to cool and doesn't keep me in the kitchen tooo long on pie making day. It is a process, but you will REALLY enjoy the results.
My grandmother - Grandma Totsy - always had these at her house when we would visit. They are a labor of love, but beloved by the entire O'Shea family.
It is a great group project. I usually do a few batches of meat so that I can make enough pies for the year. I freeze them and enjoy them whenever we want.
