Yield: 4 Servings
Measure | Ingredient |
---|---|
1 pounds | Ground beef |
1 cup | Thick and chunky salsa |
15 ounces | Refrigerated piecrusts |
1 cup | Shredded cheddar cheese |
1. Heat a large nonstick skillet 1 minute over medium-high heat. Brown beef, breaking up large pieces with a spoon, until pan juices evaporate.
Drain fat from skillet.
2. Add salsa; cook just until excess liquid evaporates. Cool.
3. Heat oven to 400°F. Roll each crust from piecrusts into a 12-inch circle. Place one circle on a cookie sheet. Spoon beef mixture evenly on circle, leaving ¾-inch border. Sprinkle beef with cheese. Moisten edge of circle with water. Fold second crust in half; cut two 1-inch diagonal slashes in center. Unfold over filling. Press edge of pie to seal. Bake 25 to 30 minutes until lightly browned.

NOTES : In England, they're called meat pasties; in Argentina, empanadas.
Here's our all-American favorite--a savory beef pie with a kick encased in a flaky crust. For more fire, use a hotter salsa.
