Directions

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
2. Add the milk, sugar, shortening, egg, salt and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
3. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 4-6 minutes.
4. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
5. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in tomato sauce.
6. Remove from the heat; set aside.
7. Punch dough down; divide into 16 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out and stretch each piece into a 5-in. circle. Top each circle with two pieces of cheese and about 3 tablespoons beef mixture. Bring dough over filling to center; pinch edges to seal.
8. Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 20 minutes.
9. Bake at 400° for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown.
10. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.
