Easy Meat Pies

3/4 pound ground beef
3/4 pound ground pork sausage
1 finely chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped green onion
2 cloves minced garlic (or heaping teaspoon of powdered garlic)
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

2 - 12 ounces each - buttermilk biscuits

Brown the beef and sausage. Drain off the excess fat. Add onions and garlic, cooking until tender. Add the rest of the ingredients (NOT the biscuits!) and heat through. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour. Makes life easier if you prepare up until this stage the day before.

On a floured surface, pat one can of the biscuits into 4-inch circles. Top each with about 1/3 cup of the meat mixture. Pat the other can of biscuits into 5-inch circles, place over filled circles, dampen rim with water to seal and press the edges together with a fork dipped in flour. Pierce the tops to allow the steam to escape while baking. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown and filling is hot.

Yield: 10 servings.
Easy enough to double. Adding shredded cheese before sealing the dough would be tasty, too.
