Empanadas!

Try these super easy, super yummy meat pies. Sour cream is a great topper to these delicious Empanadas.

What you will need

1lb ground meat, chicken or pork
2tsp minced garlic
1tsp chili powder
1tsp garlic salt
1tsp cumin
1/4 cup black beans
1/2 cup of salsa
1 package pie crust, or a pie crust recipe

Begin by preheating the oven to 400*.

Now, brown the ground meat(you don't need to add any additional oil), add in the minced garlic. While browning chop ground meat to a fine consistency. After finished browning, if you have a large amount of oil, drain. If not, continue by adding spices including the black beans and salsa. Once your meat is finished sit aside.

*you may substitute or change items, try corn, peppers, fresh tomatoes


Now take your pie crust and cut into squares.


Once in squares take a spoonful of meat and place on the pie dough and crimp edges.



Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until brown.

I served with rice. I cooked rice according to the package and added in 1 beef bullion cube and 1tbsp of butter. Once the rice was finished I mixed in the extra beef mixture.
