1/2 lb unsalted butter
1-1/4 c chopped vidalia (sweet) onion
1-1/4 c chopped celery
Saute 5 minutes, medium heat. And then add
3/4 lb ground pork (although, sometimes I just use 1.5 lbs of the local guy’s Meatloaf Mix – beef, pork and veal)
and add the spice payload
1-1/4 T minced garlic
2-1/2 t. Salt
2-1/2 t. ground cayenne pepper (yes, really)
2-1/2 t. sweet paprika
2 t. ground black pepper
1-1/2 t ground white pepper (yes, really)
2 t. dried sweet basil
1-1/2 t. dried thyme leaves
brown pork and seasonings (spice payload) with onion and celery for about 10m. medium heat.
Add
3/4lb. ground beef (if using the meatloaf mix, don’t add this beef)
brown about 6m. Add
2 c. grated red potatoes
2 c. beef stock
1/2 c. water (may or may not be necessary)
simmer 8-10m stirring. Makes about 6c. of filling. Keep warm. (but not simmering, other wise the potatoes get mushy.)
make 6″ rounds of thin pizza dough, file them like a calzone, fold over the dough and bake at 425 until nicely browned.
