Cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in chili sauce and soup mix, set aside,.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sesame seeds, if desired, and salt. Cut in shortening and cheese until crumbly. Combine milk and vinegar; gradually add to flour mixture, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball.

Divide the dough in half; roll out to 1/8" thick. Cut with a lightly floured 2 1/2' round cutter. Place half of the circles 2" apart on ungreased baking sheets. Top each with a rounded tablespoonful of beef mixture; top with remaining circles. Moisten edges with water and press with a fork to seal. Cut a slit in the top of each.
