- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 (10 ounce) can crescent rolls
- 1 1/2 cups crushed tomatoes with garlic
- 2 eggs, boiled and sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon cumin

- Season ground beef with salt, pepper, and cumin. Using the same skillet, brown the beef. When it's almost done, toss in the tomatos & bell pepper/onion mixture. Mix together and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until beef is done.
- On a floured cutting board, roll out cresent roll dough. Take special care to make sure they do not seperate. Dip your fingers in a little flour and pinch all of the serrations closed. Roll out dough to desired thickness. lightly flour the top of the dough and cut out rounds from it using a biscuit cutter or open can dipped in flour.
- Add beef mixture into the center of each round and top with a slice of egg. Fold the crust so the top and bottom edges meet. Crimp edges together using a fork dipped in flour. Coat the tops of the empanadas with an egg wash and place on baking sheet. Cook for 15 minutes or until golden.
- For a peruvian touch, drizzle with lime juice and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
