Ingredients

Filling
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, cut into thin slices
1 lb hamburger
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon chili powder
salt and pepper
Pastry Assembly
2 (14 1/8 ounce) packages pie crusts
flour, for surface
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation

Heat olive oil in a saute pan. Cook onions until slightly translucent (about 4 minutes). Add ground beef and brown. Drain out grease.
Add the rest of the filling ingredients and simmer 15-20 minutes with lid.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Trace your hand to create a hand stencil out of cardboard.
Roll out the pie crust onto a floured surface.
Use a paring knife to cut 2 hands in each sheet of pie crust, making a total of 8 hands (4 for base, 4 for top).
Brush edges of the base hands with egg wash. Add 2 tablespoons of filling to the center of each and 2 tablespoons shredded cheese. Cover each with second dough hand and press around the edges. Crimp edges with fork and brush with egg.
Bake for 14 minutes. Serve warm.
