1 batch of pie crust dough
¼ cup butter
1 cup mushrooms, chopped small
1 cup beets, chopped small
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
½ tsp dried sage
½ cup flour or corn starch
2 Tbsp water or soup stock
Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Roll the pie dough into 4 small crusts, round or square, about 5-6 inches across.
Combine the butter, mushrooms, seasonings, and flour/cornstarch in a large skillet and cook over medium-low heat until the mushrooms are soft, and most of the moisture has been absorbed by the mushrooms and flour. Remove from heat. Add the beets and the water/stock.
Spoon this filling into the crusts. Fold the crust over and pinch the edges closed. If desired, glaze the top of the crust. Cut small slashes in the tops.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.

This is how my mom makes stuffing for Thanksgiving.
Ingredients:
cornbread
bread
onions
celery
butter
sage
soup stock
salt
Make a batch of cornbread. Cut into cubes after it's baked.
Gather different kinds of bread and rolls you have around. Stale bread is okay. Tear or cut the bread into cubes. Have an equal amount of cornbread and other bread.
Mix the cornbread and the other bread together in large bowl.
Saute chopped onions and chopped celery in butter.
Mix onions and celery into the breads.
Add a lot of ground sage to taste.
Add chicken/turkey broth or vegetable stock. Add enough to moisten the bread, especially if some is stale, but not so much that it turns into a gluey, soggy lump.
Add salt if the stock/broth you used was not salty.
At this point taste it and add more sage/salt/broth as necessary.
Spread it into a baking pan and warm it in the oven until it's warm all the way.
