ingredients
FILLING
1 1/2 pound ground beef
1 1/2 cup thick spaghetti sauce
1/4 cup raisins
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
CORNMEAL PASTRY
3 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
1/2 cup ice water
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon water
taco sauce, optional
directions
Cook ground beef and drain. Simmer together with filling ingredients.
Combine flour, cornmeal and salt in a bowl. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, a little at a time, until dough forms a ball. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Divide into two balls. Roll one on a floured surface to a 16-inch circle. Cut into four 7 1/2 inch rounds. Put filling on each round. Brush with combined egg and water. Fold to form half circles, then crimp edges to seal. Repeat with other dough and filling.
Bake on greased baking sheet 25-30 minutes at 400 degrees F until lightly browned. Serve with additional taco sauce, if desired.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
reviews & comments
Doesn't tell you to add the beaten egg or the 1/2 of ice water. Used my common sense and added it to the dry ingredients :)
