My husband requests these every time we have a football party. They sound more complicated than they are. Great party finger food, easy to eat.

Number Of Ingredients 19

3/4 lb ground sirloin (or any ground meat)
3/4 c chopped onion
1/2 c orange or red pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 Tbsp chili powder
3/4 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 c beef broth
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1/2 c shredded cheddar
3 Tbsp sour cream
2 Tbsp ketchup
1 box prepared piecrust sheets (2 sheets / box)

Steps:

  • 1. Cook meat, drain. Add onion, pepper, garlic, chili powder, cumin & oregano and cook for about 5 minutes or until veggies are softened. Add paste & broth and cook a little more till thickened but not dry. Pull from heat & let cool a few minutes.
  • 2. Move meat to a bowl, add cheddar, sour cream, ketchup, salt & pepper to taste.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pies turned out terrible. I would not recommend this recipe.

These pies were a bit too greasy for my taste. I would recommend draining the ground beef more thoroughly before adding it to the filling.

The filling was a bit dry, but the crust was delicious. I would recommend adding more sauce to the filling.

These pies were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not usually a fan of Mexican food, but these pies were amazing. I'll definitely be making them again.
