empanada dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat dough

💰Cheaper: store-bought dough

Whole wheat dough offers more fiber, while store-bought is convenient and cost-effective.

Brown 1 pound of lean ground beef over high heat with a little bit of olive oil.

Add 1 small chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic to the beef and cook until softened.

Add 1 cup of tomato sauce to the mixture to create a saucy consistency.

Season with 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, then add salt and pepper to taste.

Remove from heat and stir in 2 chopped hard-boiled eggs and 3/4 cup of golden raisins.

Roll out Pillsbury Grand's corn biscuits thinly on a floured surface, aiming for round shapes.

Fill each rolled biscuit with about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the filling.

Brush the edges of the biscuit with egg wash to help seal.

Fold the biscuit over the filling and crimp the edges to seal, using a fork or decorative folding.

Place empanadas on a baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and bake at 400°F until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
