I just wanted to say that your comment to Holly was very rude. That is no way to talk to other people. It specifically states "Comments and Reviews". Besides, I thought the suggestion of using pie crust if you can't find the pastry for empanadas in the freezer section was a good one.

Holly. . . please, nobody cares about what you think, either try the recipe or don't say anything. This is not a site for idiots. I tried the recipe and it was wonderful. You go Sunny!!!!!!!

I want to thank Sunny for an amazing idea. I was not aware that pre-made empanada dough was available for purchase. I am a great cook but a disaster with pastry, so this was a god-send. I didn't use Sunny's filling, rather made Jamaican Beef Patties and Cornish style Pasties using the pre-made dough and following Sunny's method. Oh, so good! One tip from me: keep the dough well chilled in between filling each sheet. It's much easier to handle that way.

So delicious and pretty easy to make! I used ground chicken and added extra cheese-so yummy! I didn't use the curry powder as I've never had curry before and didn't want to spend money on a spice I would only use for one recipe. Next time I will add red pepper flakes instead. I baked them for 18 mins and they came out perfect, super crispy and delicious! As for the empanada dough if you store carries Goya products they will be in the frozen section--they came divided by paper which made it easier when assembling. If you lay out all your ingredients ahead of time this recipe should take no time at all!

I made these empanadas with ground turkey (I don't care for beef & I added diced mushrooms & chopped hardboiled egg (my Argentinian neighbor used to add them to hers, so I tried it too. I found the dough & Sazon at a local Mexican grocery store... Cardenas in So. Cal. They turned out very good. The only issue I had was.. I kept the dough out a little longer than I should of, so I had to pry them apart very carefully, and the other issue was.. they didn"t brown too well, (that's why I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 but they were equally scrumpitous! My husband couldn"t get enough of them! . I also added some Ancho Chili powder and some Cayenne ( we like ours a little spicy. I didn't make the sauce..but honestly, they didn't really need it. I would love to make these again.. I just don't want to spend another 2 hours in my hot kitchen on a hot California day in July... otherwise... YUMMM!

I have tried making empanadas before and have eaten plenty elsewhere, Mine were always disappointing either with the filling and/or the dough. Not this time-the filling was sublime, like comfort food should be. After looking for the empanada wrappers at 8 different stores in my town, I gave up and decided to make my own dough. Boy am I glad I did. It, too, added to the overall wonderful flavor and texture of the empanada. I found an Emeril Lagasse recipe for Spinach and Cheese Empanadas that had a very simple cream cheese dough recipe that the reviews raved about and it was delicious. It was also easy to work with too, very pliable-no rips or tears. I cut it into 4 1/2 inch circles which made 11 pcs. and just divided the filling equally between the circles. After 20 minutes, they came out beautifully ( I used a silpat and melted in my mouth-perfect crust and filling. I can't wait to make these for my daughters when they come home. I also ate them with the sauce in the same show. It is spicy but with the empanadas are delish!

I'm giving it 4 stars even though I haven't made them yet, based on how I THINK they will come out. You can't review a recipe unless you rate it. So, I can't really say how these are yet, but I'm making for dinner tomorrow night along with some Spanish style rice. I, too, had trouble findiing emapanda wrappers, but I'm going to use frozen pie dough, as I have with 2 other empanada recipes (Paula's and Robin Miller's and they came out GREAT! Going to cool off with a PB&J sundae for dessert! :

Just made these and my pickey eater son loved them. I added a little beef broth and substituted some brown rice for the corn. I love the combination of spices. I want to try them using chicken next time! Also baked for 18 min. Perfect.

Meat mixtures was really good, 6" disc are to big, when they blew up in the oven and you cut them, there is hardly any meat inside. Smaller disc would be better.
