BEEF EMPANADAS

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions, scallions, and bell pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add ground beef, oregano, salt, cayenne pepper, and cumin to the onion mixture. Cook and stir beef until no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly, then cover and place in the refrigerator until meat is completely cooled, about 1 hour.
  • Remove filling from the refrigerator and transfer into a colander to drain. Return filling to the Dutch oven.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Liberally grease a baking sheet with butter.
  • Place about 2 tablespoons filling into the center of an empanada disc. Fold empanada in half into a crescent shape, press the edges of the dough together with a fork or your fingers to seal, and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining empanadas and filling. Brush tops with egg white.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

  • Brown the ground beef in a frying pan adding the salt and pepper just before done.
  • Let the beef cool.
  • In a large bowl mix the corn, onions, cheese, and salsa, then add the cooled beef mixing carefully so not to break up all the cheese.
  • Roll the biscuits out flat to about 2-1/2 times their size.
  • Place approx 1/3 cup filling on one side of the center of the circle lengthwise.
  • Fold the dough over the filling like a turn over and crimp the edges like a pie crust. Be careful not to tear the dough, and to seal the edges completely or your filling will come out! depending on how much filling is used will determine how many biscuits you will use.
  • Place on slightly greased cookie sheet and bake at 375 till lightly browned.
