New Orleans Beef Hand Pie

Take ground beef and mix in seasonings. Then dice onion and mix into beef mix with garlic. Cook up a small portion and taste to see if you need to add more seasoning before cooking. Once beef is properly seasoned, place in oven on 350 and let cook for 2 hours. Remove from oven and mix up again, place back in oven, let cook another 2 hours. If beef is finished, remove from oven and pour off oil. Then in 2 large bus tubs divide the beef mix, and add the beans evenly to each bin 2.5 cans each , mix in beans. Allow mix to cool. Once mix is cool, add in cheese. Then label 1/2 pans and fill with mix to freeze. If folding right into hand pies, you will need 1 pan for every 25 hand pies. Put the rest in the freezer. There are folding instructions with photos in the recipe binder.
