One Christmas, I gave these tasty meat pies to our neighbors as gifts instead of sweets—they loved them! The handheld pies make a handy take-along lunch. I freeze the leftovers and reheat them later in the microwave when I need a quick meal. —Vicky Henry Aurora, Colorado

Ingredients

1 pound bulk pork sausage
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1-1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
Salt and pepper to taste
1 loaf (16 ounces) frozen bread dough, thawed
1 large egg white, lightly beaten

Directions

In a large skillet, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the spinach, cheese, mustard, marjoram, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until cheese is melted. Remove from the heat; cool slightly.
Divide dough into eight portions; roll each into a 6-in. circle. Spoon about 1/2 cup meat mixture on half of each circle. Brush edges with egg white; fold dough over filling and press edges with a fork to seal. Place on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
Brush tops with egg white; cut slits in the top of each. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
