“This is a very old recipe. It came from the Griswold side of the family in England where they worked in the coal mines.” – Jean Hansen
“My mom used left over roast beef to make these. My husband, Steve, likes them with extra gravy. When you make them, keep the gravy cold, so it is easier to seal more into the pies.” – Calla Ferre
