My family lived in DIMMIT COUNTY in TEXAS for generations.  This recipe is from The Dimmit county Centennial 1880-1980 cookbook.  This is just one of the recipes my Vivian family roots enjoy to this day

1 LB. ground beef
1 tbl. shortening
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
1/2 c. chopped green peppers
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup chopped stuffed olives
1 tea. flour
1 1/2 tea. salt
1/4 tea. pepper
2 pkg. pie crust mix
1 tbl. water
1 egg yolk
1/4 t. tabasco sauce (I use Louisianna hot sauce)

Saute beef in shortening. Add onion, tomato, pepper and garlic. Cook until onion is tender; add olives and tabasco sauce; mix. Blend in flour, salt and pepper. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly; cool. Prepare pie crust mix as directed. Roll out 1/8 inch thick; cut crust in 3 inch rounds; fill each with a teaspoon meat mixture. Brush with mixture of water and egg yold. Bake at 425 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
