MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
1 1/2 lb Ground beef
1 1/2 c Thick spaghetti sauce
1/4 c Raisins
2 ts Chili powder
1 ts Brown sugar
1/2 ts Onion powder
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 ts Garlic powder
1/4 ts Ground cinnamon
MMMMM----------------------CORNMEAL PASTRY---------------------------
3 c All-purpose flour
2/3 c Corn meal
1 ts Salt
1 c Shortening
1/2 c Ice water
1 Egg; beaten
1 tb Water
Taco sauce (optional)
Cook ground beef; drain. Simmer together filling ingredients.
Combine flour, corn meal, 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 half on a floured surface to a 16"
circle. Cut into four 7-1/2" rounds. Put 1/2 of filling on each
round. Brush with combined egg and water. Fold to form half
circles; crimp edges to seal. Repeat with other dough and fill.
Bake on greased baking sheet 25-30 minutes at 400 F until lightly
browned. Serve with additional taco sauce, if desired.
