Cheeseburger Empanada Recipe Search

[Lexif424]

I am looking for a recipe for a cheeseburger empanada...thought I saw one on someones fb page but now I cant find it.

Hopefully someone has it. That's a downside with FB. It's there-it's gone. On Chef Success-it's always here- stored on our site.

I don't have the recipe but it shouldn't be too hard to wing it. Brown up some hamburger (probably a pound), add a tablespoon or two of a rub (smoky applewood would be my first choice), and a small can of tomato sauce. Let it cook down until most of the liquid from the tomato sauce it gone (about the consistancy of taco meat, wet but not swimming in liquid). Pull it off the heat, add half cup to a full cup of shredded cheddar. Put a spoonful or two in the middle of a empanada wrap (I found some in the freezer section near the mexican food). Fold it over and seal the edges with a fork. Bake at 400 for about 15 minutes, I think, it's been a while since I made empanadas. The tops should start turning golden brown.

You could also cook up some bacon to add to them, I know my husband would love it if I did that!

If you give this a try, let me know how it works out. Or give a me a few days and I can work on a trial run to work out an actual recipe for you.

Off topic of the OP's question, but I love your point, Deb! It's so true. You know, I wish more people on FB would hop over here. There are so many consultant groups forming, one for fundraisers, showers, red stamp, 2 for FB parties, general consultant, DCB, brownie pan, etc. There are so many groups, it's getting hard to remember where I found what and where I was having certain discussions and wanting to go back to.

I love CS because we have it ALL! All the different category subforums and everything stored here. One stop shopping for all your PC questions and needs. I try to do plugs for CS when I'm on those groups hoping more people will come here. It had been kind of quiet lately, but thanks to your posts, it's been getting better.

I feel CS is more of a resource since it is possible to just scan through topic categories. And it is easy to find past discussions/threads here.

That's why I always post pictures with everything I post on FB and have them organized into photo albums. If you don't remember the name of the recipe/tip, you can check the photo albums as long as you remember something about it (especially for recipes).

My photo albums are:

Produce Tips

Holiday Cooking & Entertaining
Halloween

It looks like a lot, but it makes trying to find things a lot easier if you didn't tag yourself so you could find it later.
