Cut meat into small pieces. Cut onion, potatoes, rutabaga and carrots into separate dishes.
Place even amounts of vegetables and meats on each circle, beginning with onion, then meats with salt and pepper, potato, rutabaga and carrot.
Add a dab of butter to each. Fold over and seal with water.
Cut slits in top. Bake on greased baking sheet, don't crowd, at 450\u00b0 for 45 minutes until browned.
