Empanada Beef Chili image

While I lived in Mexico in the 1960s, a friend's mother gave me her grandmother's empanada recipe. I've made it over the years and passed it down to my grandchildren. To shed some carbs, I converted the recipe into a chili. -Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my empanadas turned out dry and bland. I'll have to try again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my empanadas didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The dough was too thick and the filling was bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
