My mother-in-law would make these...then my mom and I started doing this....we use round steak, pork roast, potatoes (all cut about same size) onion and carrots, salt and pepper. We also put a tab of butter b/4 folding over the side. My husband also likes canned beef gravy put on before eating it. All ingredients are same amount except for onions and, (of course) salt and pepper.
