I added in leftover hamburger. I just broke them up into small pieces and added in with the other stuff. Yum!

LOVE THEM! This is identical to the recipe I've used for years to use up Christmas ham. (Just add diced ham to the ingredients listed.) Thank you for posting Joyful!

My DD loved these. I made them last night for today's lunch and 2 of them were gone before morning :)I made them with puff pastry sheets and my tomato and onion must have been extra large because I have enough filling left over to make more tonight.
