EASY BEEF EMPANADAS
This is my favorite Beef Empanada recipe. After much trial and error I came up with this recipe. It goes great with a side of my rice and beans recipe! You can also freeze uncooked empanadas for later use!

Steps:
- 1. Get everything ready to go.
- 2. Heat oil, add beef and cook until brown and no longer pink ... drain excess fat, remove cooked beef and set aside.
- 3. In same pan add onions, peppers and garlic and cook until soft and onions are translucent (do not brown and do not burn garlic).
- 4. Add meat back to pan, stir to combine.
- 5. Add tomatoes, olives, sofrito and raisins and cook until softened about 5 mins.
- 6. Add tomato sauce, cumin, oregano, chicken stock, sazon and cilantro. Bring to boil and cook on low-medium heat until thickens (about 15-20mins).
- 7. Let mixture cool, then spoon into defrosted room temperature disco.
- 8. Place filling in the middle of disco, brush edges with egg and water mixture, fold in ½ and seal edges with fork.
- 9. Fry empanada in 350 degree oil until golden, about 4-6 mins, turning ½ way through. (You can also bake if desired until crispy and golden brown, but fried taste much better!).
- 10. Tips: 1. Place uncooked empanadas in wax paper and tin foil, in freezer bag for later use 2. As you prepare each empanada (if not immediately cooking) after sealing, place on wax paper and separate with wax paper or disco plastic to prevent sticking, cover immediately to prevent from drying out. 3. Goya Discos and Goya Sofrito are sold in frozen section. Let both defrost. Sofrito is hard to spoon if you do not defrost a little. You can use food processor to chop onions and peppers, but chop other ingredients by hand.

[email protected]These empanadas were a disappointment. The dough was tough and the beef filling was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

[email protected]I'm not a fan of empanadas, but I tried these and they were actually pretty good. The beef filling was tasty and the dough was flaky.

[email protected]The dough was a little difficult to work with, but the empanadas were worth the effort. The beef filling was flavorful and the empanadas were a big hit with my family.

[email protected]These empanadas were easy to make and very tasty. I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still delicious.

[email protected]These empanadas were a hit at my party! The beef filling was flavorful and juicy, and the dough was flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making these again.
