Great Website, thanks Joella. My 1997 RV oven has never been cooked in. I want to light that thing and start baking. I miss making a pie called the Pastie, or Pasty. Its a Montana steak, potato and onion pie. I will light this oven soon. Isn't the computer great. We have all these websites at our fingertips. Thanks to this forum, I can find new websites that interest me. I will send these sites to my sister. She cooks in her oven all the time. OB44

Olive and Joella, my first trip to the UP of Michigan I saw a bill board for Mom's Pasties. The only thing I could think of were the things that exotic dancers stick on their breast so as not to be considered nude. I started cracking up imagining someone named Mom prancing around the kitchen with little tassels swinging..... doesn't take much sometimes to almost wreck!
But I was straightened out on just what a pasty is, haven't had one yet! (can't get past that visual)
No matter where you go, there you are!

Hi, Here is the recipe. A pre-made double deep dish pie crust or you can make your own pie crusts. They can be made as one large pie or individual pies. That would be one pie crust folded over and crimped after filling. Usually round steak is used. That's what I use. Then peel and cut your Idaho potatoes into little squares that will cook in 45 minutes to an hour in the pie dough. Then I use red onions. You can use your favorite onion. I start with a layer of potato and then the meat. (which has been cut into small pieces like the potato) Then a layer of onions some salt and pepper and then pats of butter (BUTTER). Continue to layer until all used and then cover with second pie crust or fold over and crimp. You can put in more meat or less meat, more or less onion. That's all that is included in this Montana Pasteee. My husband taught me to make this pie right after he ordered his first apple pie. Pasteees are sold in bakeries and in their own Pasteeee Store in Butte, Montana. That's all I wanted to eat while I was there in July and all Sharon wanted to eat was Gumbo, which I made while I was there. OB44
