Ingredients




1 pound ground beef
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon salt
1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
1/2 cup chopped onion
8 ounces (1 c) grated cheddar cheese
1 cup salsa, any variety you prefer
2 cans of refrigerated biscuits

Preparation

1 Brown the ground beef in a frying pan adding the salt and pepper just before done. 2 Drain and allow to cool. 3 In a large bowl mix the corn, onions, cheese, and salsa, then add the cooled beef mixing carefully so not to break up all the cheese. 4 Roll the biscuits out flat to about 2 ½ times their original size. 5 Spoon about ¼ cup of the mixture onto the center of each circle being careful not the cover the edges. 6 Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges closed. Make sure the edges are sealed well or your filling will ooze out while it’s baking! 7 Place on lightly greased cookie sheet and bake @ 375 degrees until lightly browned, usually about 6 minutes but times may vary. Just watch them closely and when they are browned remove from oven. 8 Serve warm.

About


I just love empanadas and these are super simple. Canned biscuits make it so easy although I do like making my own dough too.
