I’m constantly looking for new recipes that use items we get on sale or have in our stockpile. This Yummy Filipino Beef Empanada recipe was from Pinterest, but I did some alterations.
Yummy Filipino Beef Empanada
Love meat pies? If do, you should try this yummy Filipino beef empanada. The savoury good ness is sealed in a crusty pastry that's baked to perfection!
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef (minced beef)- 2 small pie crust
½ teaspoon chili powder (chilli powder in British English)- ½ cup onions - chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
14 ounces tomatoes - with green chilis and drained
1 medium egg - beaten
½ cup Monterey Jack cheese - shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cook onion and ground beef until cooked, drain, and stir in salt and chilli powder.
- Unroll the pie crust on an ungreased cookie sheet. Spoon 2 cups of the beef mixture onto half of each pie crust. Spread mixture to within a 1/2 inch of the edge.
- Top each with 1/4 cup of shredded cheese. I forgot and had already closed it up by the time I realized this, so I added it to the top of the empanadas for the last couple of minutes of cooking.
- Brush edges with beaten egg, and then fold the top half over the beef mixture. Use a fork to seal the edges. Make a couple slits at the top and then brush the top with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes and then cut into wedges.
