Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC).
-
Cook the freezer mix in a large skillet over medium heat until heated through and any excess liquid has evaporated. If using a meat-based mix, ensure it is browned; drain off any excess fat. Remove from heat.
-
Stir in the diced carrots, shredded potato, shredded American cheese, shredded Cheddar cheese, catsup, garlic salt, pepper, and prepared mustard into the skillet. Mix well until the cheese begins to melt and the ingredients are combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
-
Prepare the pie crust dough according to the package directions.
-
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. On a lightly floured surface, roll each part into a 7-inch circle.
-
Place approximately 1/2 cup of the filling onto one half of each dough circle, packing it gently but leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edge.
-
Moisten the edges of the dough with water. Fold the empty half of the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
-
Place the pasties on an ungreased baking sheet. Prick the tops of each pasty with a fork to allow steam to escape.
-
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
-
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
