My grandma used to make these but she put in italian sausage, ground beef, onion, gr. pepper, garlic, cut up small pieces of pepperoni, and cheese.  When ready to serve, she'd top with marinara sauce she made homemade, then sprinkled with parmesan.  
When she made dessert pasties, she fill them with apple pie filling then when ready to serve, a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
I so miss my grandma.
Thanks so much for your recipe.  I will try it!

I love how your helper is encouraged to help out, that's a wonderful experience she will have the rest of her life, making loving memories

I LOVE your interractions with your granddaughter.  I love that you are teaching her, not only, cooking, but kitchen hygiene.  Great job Grandma!!!!

In Argentina we call them empanadas, they look just like you but with local products!  We make them with different fillings, wine and dessert and that’s it!  Thank you for taking me back to a place i love!

Rutabaga's!  You explain this really well!  I lived in the Keweenaw for 2 years about 30 years ago and pasties were a huge part of our lives!  I'm divorced now, but since we are friends I'll have to invite him over for surprise pasties!  Good memories!  Thanks!

For many years we lived on the border of Michigan and, at first, we didn’t know what pasties were. But soon we tried them and loved them. We were told that the miners would place these pasties on top of their head near their head lamp to warm them up just before lunch. Pasties do not have gravy inside because they would be too runny and messy to eat down in the mines. Now there are fast-food restaurants which sell only pasties up there in Michigan. The original pasties were made with rutabagas, but nowadays you can buy them with all the regular ingredients except rutabagas, if you choose. So happy to see that you shared this recipe. I am so excited to try to make some of my own. Thank you!

I lived in Sault Ste. Marie in the UP and I have NEVER seen the meat pre-cooked and haven't seen pork used either.  Having said that, they are the best thing in the world and always warm the heart on a cold winter day.

Super glad this video came through, 4 years later lol I just printed it out and will be making these tomorrow. You are just awesome Renee <3

Da yw genev metya genes! I'm from Cornwall the home of the pasty, it's so interesting to see the american adaptations of the Pasty. Traditional Cornish pasty here contains, beef skirt steak, potato, onion and swede. Pastry is crimped but they turn out in a more oval shape rather than round. I'd be more than happy to send a recipe or pictures. Great video

Pasties are my favourite thing to cook and eat I bake all sorts from the traditional Cornish pasty to corned beef and potato with onion and cheese and onion with potato and even bacon potato and onion pasties my kids used to love the corned beef ones with baked beans the British kind that's the great thing about pasties they're versatile you can do most filling for them

I guarantee this woman is a damn hero during Thanksgiving 🤘

Such a good Nana letting her help.  Passing on family tradition.  Thank you for teaching me how to make these.  Never heard of those.  Look good!

In England we call these Cornish Pasties ("A" pronounced as in apple). A favorite food of Great Britain. :-) Thank you for sharing!!

ps. LOVE how your grand baby got to participate a bit!!

my grandma used to do that with me too, but she would give me some to do myself. brings back memories. That's how I learned to cook like her.

Thank you mama!!  I grew up in WI, close to Ironwood MI, and my great great aunt used to make these.  I took them frozen in my dorm at college, and they were my favorite late night meal.  I can't wait to try your recipe!

I have never had these before...but the possibilities are endless for the stuffing in these!!!!

Thank you, Renee.  They look great.  I ordered your cookbook because everything you make sounds so good.😊

I was just eating a Joe's Pasty Shop pasty while watching this video.  I love how your daughter wants to help so bad.  I wish that I had tried that with my boys.  I miss my kids being so little and wanting to be involved in my life.  Good job!  I was born a Yooper and always will be.

Bless you for sharing your families favorites. These look scrumptious, thanks for also including the pre-bake and baking from frozen directions.

I saw the video on how to make pasties.   I made them on Saturday and there were the best pasties my hubby and I ever had.  Is was so easy to make the filling and the crust was so  good.   I made 10 pasties I packaged them up and we have 3 freezer meals of pasties in the freezer.  I give this recipe a thumbs up and 10 plus.    Try them you will not regret it!!!!
