Beef Empanadas Recipe

INGREDIENTS:
1 pound ground beef
Empanada pastry dough discs - I used Goya
oil for frying
1 small finely diced onion
1 small finely diced bell pepper
3 cloves minced garlic
salt and black pepper
1/2 cup sliced olives
1 cup tomato sauce
1 tsp. Adobo seasoning
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cilantro
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. cumin

In a pan on medium heat add ground beef. Cook, stir and chop until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add diced onions and bell peppers and cook for a couple minutes.
Add minced garlic, salt and black pepper and cook for an additional minute.

Add sliced olives and tomato sauce and stir.
Add spices, stir and let simmer for a couple minutes and then remove from heat and let cool.

Add a good spoon full of meat mixture in middle of empanada dough.
Fold over and press edges with fingers.
Take fork and press down along edge front and back to completely seal.

Heat oil to 350 degrees F. Add a couple empanadas and don't over crowd the pan.
Let cook for 3-4 minutes gently turning so they cook evenly.
Once golden brown, remove from heat and place on a wire rack to drain.

Enjoy.

We love empanadas. They look delicious.

This looks tasty! I have always wanted to make these, but didn't have a recipe. Are these Goya discs in the frozen food section? Fun idea. Mr. Birdsinparadise would certainly like these lol! Great post!

Yes, they are in the frozen section. Save some discs and put some apple or cherry pie filling in them! There are alot of different things you can do with the dough. It is like a pastry. Thanks so much @birdsinparadise.

haven't had one of these in awhile but used to really enjoy them, never tried homemade though!

Oh my! They are good @doitvoluntarily If you get the Goya empanada dough, save a couple and put some apple pie or cherry pie filling in them. YUM! Thanks so much for visiting. Greatly appreciated.

looks very nice
want to try it

Looks like a great recipe and your photos are well done, too. I've never made my own empanadas. Thanks for sharing with the #dailyfoodphotography tag! This week's Tuesday Top Ten compilation and winners blog has been posted. Keep cookin' :)
