Submitted by Nana in the woods

"I got this recipe from a neighbor when I lived in Duluth, MN. Pasties are a big thing up there. It is quite good and fairly easy."

I had to make one slight change and that was I used a refrigerated french loaf bread dough (our area does not carry frozen bread dough) so I adjusted a bit on some of the extra time to have the dough rise. I feel like this recipe is just missing some crucial flavor. As written it is pretty bland and I feel that the addition of possibly minced garlic, cheese, tomatoes, might help. Maybe it is just a regional taste but we need a bit more bite in the depth of flavor. I also did a light egg wash on the dough to get it to brown well while baking. Made for the Under Cover Photo Event in the Cooking Photos Forum.
