They look fantastic... Wondering if I could use the organic store bought biscuits instead of making the dough? I just don't have time for all that... Wondering if they could possibly be baked instead too... Anyone?
Not hard to make, just takes a few extra steps but the end result is definitely worth the effort. Next time I make it I would cut back the ground beef by a half pound. Otherwise the flavor is really good.
I added parmesan but not cheddar, I will make it again, simple, comforting, and tasty.
Thank you so much for this recipe. I lived in San Francisco in my 20s and later in my 40s. But in my 20s, I would often go to the local corner store, which SF has so many cute little corner stores, owned by some ethnic group or other. Chicago has nothing like that. And when I would go to the local corner store, I would buy one of their beef stuffed pirozhki. It was like heaven eating them. Also I was a bike messenger in Chicago for a summer and tried it in SF, but lasted only a few weeks. The hills were too much for me in SF. Anyway I made the recipe. It was super easy, and came out perfect, exactly as I remember them in SF. I had been thinking of making a puff pastry for the same purpose (vegetarian), but this is probably better than a puff pastry and 100X easier. Also I try making Indian style stuffed pastries, but making the stuffing can be so complicated with all the spices required. So thanks a million. Ann
My grandparents lived in San Francisco down the street from a shop that made the best pirozhkis. I was looking for a recipe that reminded me of that special treat I remembered. The dough from this recipe was spot on! I haven't tried the meat filling in this recipe yet because I was craving the ground beef, onion, hard boiled egg filling I remembered. I can't wait to try this version of the filling next. It was the first time my family had tasted these and my kids already asked if I can make them again!
Didn't use dill because I didn't have any. Used Penzeys Spices Mural Of Flavor. Came out fantastic. Thanks Chef John!
Made it just like the recipe. Took me back to my high school days living in San Francisco. IT WAS AWESOME!
I have a old family recipe that has a good twist. Cultural cooking is regional always provides a relationship of familial tastes and national heritage. Simply put all is good tasty and provides an atmosphere of oneness.
Full of humor. You ll find out as you watch.
