Ever heard of tidy joes?

[Nittersing]

Take a roll of premade biscuits... roll one flat, fill with sloppy joe mix, seal up and bake!

This was mentioned in a twitter thread... all about meat-filled pastries (or dough of any kind).

So many varieties... ravioli, empanadas, knish(es?), kolaches, pierogis... the list goes on.

Do you have a favorite?

1. Gyoza

My wife makes the classic "Iron Pan" style gyoza

That's where you fry the dumplings until they are half cooked then pour water into the pan and cover, so you steam the top half

I'll take any excuse to link to "Cooking With Dog"

2. I love making gyoza!

Haven't made 'em for a while because I prefer to go to the most local Asian market for the pork (larger and fattier ground than Safeway) and also for the napa cabbage. I don't know why, but the cabbage is SOO much larger in the Asian store.

4. Reminds me of Estonian pirukad

Except the filling might be cooked ground beef with chopped onion, and the tops of the biscuits would be brushed with beaten egg yolk.

8. You can make a cutout on the top biscuit

Like a jackolantern - serve on Halloween to the kiddos. Used to do this for my son before trick or treating. He always ate a good dinner before all the junk! Lol

9. I like them all.

I just made some (baked) biscuit dough samosas a few days ago. They didn't have meat in them this time, but that works too.
