Crust
2 cups flour
2/3 cup shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold water
Filling
3/4 pound ground chuck or 1/2-inch cubes of steak
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup grated rutabaga (or carrots)
1/2 cup grated (edible) beef suet (optional)
3 cups diced potatoes
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons dried parsley
OR
1/3 cup fresh chopped parsley
Cut shortening into flour and salt, add water. Mix and knead until well blended. (yes, contrary to pie crust, you knead) Form into 4 balls and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour. Roll in to 8 inch circle. Use plenty of flour while rolling out.
Mix the filling together in a large bowl. Roll out the dough, and brush the edges with milk. Put 1 cup of filling onto one side of each crust and fold over. Seal the edge by pressing with a fork. Put on cookie sheet, cut 1 slit (1/2 inch) in each for steam and brush top with milk.
Bake in 400 degrees F oven on bottom shelf for 25 minutes, then move to middle shelf for 20 minutes.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
