The “white trash” part of this recipe is the *gasp* canned biscuits. The *doublegasp* store brand canned biscuits. Homemade biscuit dough would assuredly taste even better, assuming you have time to make some because you don’t have a 7-month-old who is really unhappy about being in the Pack ‘n’ Play while you try to make dinner, and who doesn’t really want to be in the exersaucer either, and who also really wants to nurse right now.

Meat Pies

The dough:

1 1lb can of biscuits, usually this means 8 pieces (or equivalent homemade biscuit dough)

The filling:

1 lb ground lamb
zest and juice from 1 small lemon
4 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
fresh rosemary and oregano, minced
1 small onion, chopped finely
a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the over to 375°. Brown the lamb and onion together in a skillet. Add the remaining ingredients and cook for a few more minutes.

Flatten or roll out the biscuits into 5″ circles and divide the meat mixture evenly between the circles of dough, about 1/4 cup per circle. Eat any leftover meat directly from the skillet, omnomnom. Fold each circle in half and crimp the edges together with a fork. (Do a better job of this than I did.) Place on a baking sheet and bake for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with your favorite version of tzadziki sauce, if desired. (Mine is just grated cucumber, minced garlic, and yogurt.)
