Jamaican Meat Patties

These meat pies are so good, easy to make, and travel well. be careful with the hot peppers; scotch bonnets are super spicy. to make these kid friendly, we usually don't add the peppers until just before filling, setting aside some plain filling for the sensitive mouths. these are really good with pineapple coleslaw. i got this recipe from the september 2006 issue from womans day magazine.
