My wife wanted a cheese and onion pasties that she use to have when she was a little girl at home with mum.

I learned how to make these when I worked at the Renaissance Festival. My bosses, Rick and Reenie, were Michiganders where this dish is quite popular.

Deer camp special! This is a traditional hand-held, hearty dish common to northern Michigan. The key is in the flaky crust and care should be made to keep crust ingredients as cool as possible before cooking to make it as flaky as possible. Filling can be made from any meat and vegetable, but, traditionally it includes beef, potatoes, rutabaga, onion, and carrots seasoned with salt and pepper. This recipe includes cheese because well, who doesn't love cheese? And I dropped the carrots so feel free to add those if you choose. Also, I added ground pork because I feel it adds a layer of flavor. Don't be afraid to get creative because it will all turn out great with this recipe. It's also great for making plenty in advance, wrap with aluminum foil, and freeze. Simply remove from freezer, keep in foil, and throw in oven at 350° for 1 - 1 1/2 hours for a perfect, complete meal. Can be topped with gravy or ate cold with ketchup while playing Euchre for the quintessential Yooper deer camp experience. Prep time can be upwards of an hour dicing vegetables and ideally 3 hour refrig time so when your planning from start to finish you should allow 6 hours, but can be made as quick as 4 hours. This recipe will make at least 6 pasty's.

Miners pasties - taken down the mines wrapped in paper would keep the men going all day. Grandpa used to have a flask of gravy to pour in each half and scoop the filling out with a spoon, so the pastry had to be solid but after eating the filling it was soft and delicious. Granny also used to bake them half and half so the one side had the meat and veg then a pastry barrier and stewed fruit in the other half - if you're not a miner you could make 6-8 pasties for a family picnic

Love good pasties

Forfare Bridies a traditional Sottish pastie filled with ground lamb

a lil something from back home recipe modified for shorter time lol

Saw a sweet cake baked in a muffin tin and thought savory would work as we'll. Also prevents pastys bursting in oven.

pasties are a traditional food in the northern Michigan mining communities.
