Beef Empanada Pot Pie Recipes

BEEF EMPANADAS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions, scallions, and bell pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add ground beef, oregano, salt, cayenne pepper, and cumin to the onion mixture. Cook and stir beef until no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly, then cover and place in the refrigerator until meat is completely cooled, about 1 hour.
• Remove filling from the refrigerator and transfer into a colander to drain. Return filling to the Dutch oven.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Liberally grease a baking sheet with butter.
• Place about 2 tablespoons filling into the center of an empanada disc. Fold empanada in half into a crescent shape, press the edges of the dough together with a fork or your fingers to seal, and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining empanadas and filling. Brush tops with egg white.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Place onion in a food processor and process to a medium chop. Use a garlic press to add garlic to the chopped onion.
• Preheat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add oil, onion, and garlic to the hot pan. Reduce heat to medium and saute until golden, about 5 minutes.
• Place mushrooms in the food processor and process to a medium dice. Stir into the onion mixture and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Meanwhile, process olives to a fine mince and set aside.
• Add oregano, paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes, and pepper to the pan; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Crumble in ground beef and cook, breaking up with a spoon or spatula, until thoroughly browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in olives. Remove from heat and cool for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray. Line the plate with 1 pie crust.
• Carefully spoon the cooled beef mixture into the crust. Press the second crust on top. Slice air vents in the top crust.
• Beat egg and water together in a small bowl. Brush egg wash thoroughly over the complete surface of the pie.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
