I must say that I did have to triple the dough recipe in order to use most of the meat filling. Yes, I said most because even after tripling the recipe I still had 2 cups of met filling left. I wanted to make a more traditional sized empanada. I'm not sure how the chef figured that 2 pounds of meat would fit in only 6 - 8 empanadas. lol! Anyway, just tweak it the way you need to . Also, you have to wing how to cook the filling as there are NO insturctions on it. Mine came out really good. I actually didn't put the peeled tomatoes in the recipe.

2 lbs of beef is a bit crazy and while frying up the beef and tossing in the seasoning is pretty basic - maybe a short explanation of that process would be nice.

although these took a little time, they were so delicious and very presentable. I baked these at 350 instead of frying them. I served them at a bridal shower and they were the favorite!

I can't say enough about the ease in making the dough. My grandson and I had a lot of fun with this one. I look forward to using this dough for many things in future!

I agree with the other reviews. There was not enough dough for the amount of meat filling in the recipe. I ended up using the leftover meat to reinvent tacos the next day.




Great dough

The dough is easy to make and it is really good. Recommended even if you fill the dough with something else, you can't go wrong.
