Spicy Picnic Pasties

Directions

• Combine pastry ingredients as for pie crust; divide dough into four parts. Roll each part thin and cut into a 6-in. diameter circle, using a small plate as a guide. (If you prefer, substitute store-bought refrigerated pastry.)
• Combine filling ingredients. Place a fourth of filling in center of each dough circle; pat filling down lightly. Moisten edges of dough with water; fold circle in half to make a turnover. Seal edges well with a fork. Prick top to allow the steam to escape; place on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake at 375° for about 40 minutes. Serve-hot or cold-dipped in ketchup, barbecue or chili sauce.
