This recipe tastes nothing like a Jamaican Beef patty. I was very disappointed :(

They were a little dry. My husband loved them. One person suggest adding cloves and allspice....DON'T. Too strong. I would use a chunky sauce next time.

I agree with others, this is great, however i believe that it tastes very much like an indian dish because there was so much curry added. try creating something with more jerk spices.

Nice recipe! I made it a bit healthier by adding mixed veggies (carrots, corn, peas), and using store bought low fat pie crust. I also added some more spices, and I think this recipe is really adaptable depending on taste. It came out fantastically.

What a hit at our party yesturday!! This is a super tasty dish that I will definitely make again. I doubled the dough recipe and trippled the meat recipe and this worked out pretty good. I weighed the dough at 1.5 oz, and I had enough of everything (it made almost 30 pies). This is time consuming but totally worth it!

This was time consuming but worth the effort. I made a vegetarian version as well and just crumbled up extra firm tofu instead of ground beef. It turned out delicious. Even though for me it was a lot of work and dishes I will certainly make this again

These were great! I didn't have a big problem with the dough to filling ratio. I rolled the dough really thin so that I could fill it with a bit more. It made six pastries. I had enough mixture leftover for about 1 more pastrie but I just ate the left over because it was so delicious. I never have shortnening in the house and usually substitute butter but I put some bacon fat instead and it was made them so good. Ialso changed up a bit of the spices in the meat mixture. I used red curry and added a tsp if all spice instead of salt.

As has been mentioned, the dough needs to be doubled. Had a LOT of filling leftover. This is a great "get you started" recipe, but the meat could use a little more seasoning/adjusting.

The end result was fabulous, but like many other reviewers suggested, the proportions of filling to dough is totally out of whack. Since I was only making these for my boyfriend and I, I halved the ingredients for the filling and kept the amounts for the dough the same. I still had a ton of leftover filling, but there was enough dough to make 5 meal-sized patties. I added more curry than was recommended and also added chili powder and paprika. I took another reviewer's suggestion and made the dough in the food processor - made it super easy, the whole meal was done within an hour. Thank you for the recipe!

double the dough because there will be too much filling. Also, add 1 tsp of cayenne pepper, 1 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp cloves and 1 tsp allspice = Delicious!!

DELISH! I added allspice, red pepper flakes and chopped sauteed mushrooms but the unaltered version is great too! Be sure to chill dough about 30 minutes so it's easier to work with.

Great recipe! I chopped up a jalapeno pepper and added to the onion and oil until soft. I like mine a bit spicier.

My husband loved these, but I didn't think they were quite worthy of five stars. Something about the spices didn't quite taste right to me and I wasn't thrilled with the texture of the crust when it came out of the oven. I will say they were a good change for dinner and might consider making them in a bite size portion as an appetizer.

This recipe was ok. It was lacking some bite and flavor of the beef patties i'm used to from the Jamaican restaurants up in N.Y. There should be a note to drain the oil of the beef out before placing them in the pastry shells also. The pastry shells turned out really good though!

I am a terrible and inexperienced cook who was able to create a yummy, yummy meal with this recipe. I used coconut oil instead of shortening b/c that is what I had and turkey instead of beef, but it still became a delicious meal. My 3 year old rolled out the dough herself! I found it to be the perfect amount for 10.
