Ems Empanadas
- 2 whole Pie Crusts (I Like PW's Recipe)
- 1 whole Beaten Egg (for Egg Wash)
- 1 pound Hamburger (browned)
- 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
- 8 ounces, weight (up To 10 Oz.) Velveeta Cheese
- 12 ounces, weight Salsa
- (Please note: these proportions are really to taste.
- Maybe you want yours cheesier or more salsa-y or with more meat.
- Feel free to mix it up.)
- Mix hamburger, cheeses, and salsa in a bowl and microwave until creamy and smooth.
- Adjust proportions according to taste.
- Cut each rolled out pie crust into fourths.
- Spoon a generous spoonful of filling onto a fourth.
- (I must warn you: you will be sorely tempted to put in more filling than the crust can handle.
- I know, because I do this every single time.
- Nothing horrible will happen, it will just ooze out and not fit perfectly when you try to fold up the crust.
- And your empanada wont be as pretty.
- I have resigned myself to this fact.
- I just want more filling.)
- Fold the pie crust over and pinch edges to seal.
- Brush with beaten egg.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve plain, or with extra filling on the top, or with salsa and sour cream, or whatever makes your skirt fly up.
