What to Do
1. In a skillet, over medium heat, cook beef until no longer pink; drain. Stir in chili sauce, soup mix
and salt; set aside.
2. In a bowl, combine flour, sesame seeds if desired and salt. Cut in shortening and cheese until
crumbly. Combine milk and vinegar; gradually add to flour mixture, tossing with a fork until dough
forms a ball. Divide dough in half; roll out to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2-in. round cutter.
3. Place half of the circles 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Top each with about 1-1/2
tablespoons of beef mixture; cover with remaining circles. Moisten edges with water and press with
a fork to seal. Cut a slit in the top of each. Bake at 425°F for 12-16 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve immediately; or cool, wrap andfreeze for up to 3 months.
