Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cold milk
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup chopped black olives
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Method

  • In a medium bowl, blend together the butter, cream cheese and salt until smooth.
  • Stir in the flour, until the mixture is evenly crumbly.
  • Sprinkle the milk over the flour mixture one tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork until the dough is moistened enough to be formed into a ball.
  • Press dough together, and knead for just a couple of turns.
  • Flatten the ball slightly, wrap and refrigerate.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the ground beef and onion, and cook until the beef is no longer pink.
  • Drain off fat, and set aside to cool.
  • Transfer the meat mixture to a bowl, and mix in the salt, egg, sour cream, blue cheese, olives and walnuts until well blended.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • On a sheet of waxed paper, or between two sheets, roll the pastry out into a rectangle about 10x12 inches.
  • Place the meat mixture down the center of the pastry, then bring the sides up around the filling, pinching together to enclose the filling completely.
  • Use the waxed paper to pick up the roll, and roll it onto a baking sheet so that it sits with the seam on the bottom.
  • Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the pastry is a nice golden brown.
