hi guys welcome back to my channel today i'm going to share with you guys how to make some delicious ground beef empanadas in case you guys don't know how to make this super easy and delicious recipe just stay tuned and i'll show you how alrighty guys so let's get started with our ingredients so for the recipe we're going to need two pounds of ground beef your choice of melting cheese three and three quarters of a cup of flour 12 tablespoons of butter two bell peppers chopped one anaheim pepper chopped one small white onion chopped one tablespoon of sugar salt four minced scarlet cloves and all of our spices that will link in the description box so these are ingredients now let's get started alright guys so first we're going to start by making our ground beef stuffing so we're going to grab our pan and we're going to set it on medium-high heat we're going to add a little bit of oil and we're just going to wait for the oil to heat up all right so once our year is hot we're going to throw in our bell pepper and aina and pepper and we're going to cook them for five minutes all right guys so after five minutes we're going to throw in our onion and we're going to cook them together for about two more minutes okay so after two minutes we're going to throw in our meat our minced garlic along with all of our spices and salt i'm using two teaspoons [Music] so now just begin to break your meat down okay so now we're just going to cook our meat for eight minutes alrighty guys so after eight minutes our meat should be fully cooked now at this point you can try for salt and see if you want to add any more for me it's perfect so we're just going to turn it off cover it and set it to the side so we can allow it to cool down alright guys so once our filling has cooled down now we're going to make our empanada dough so in a large bowl we're going to mix our flour and we're going to add our sugar and salt and for the salt i'm using one teaspoon and a half so now just mix it together and now we're going to add our butter and the butter make sure that it is cold and just cut into large squares all right so now we're just going to mix our flour and butter so just crumble them together like that and of course just make sure that your hands are clean alrighty so once we have mixed our butter and flour this is what your flour should look like so as you can see it's kind of like powdery so now we're going to add our water and just make sure that it is cold water and i'm going to add one cup and a quarter now we're just going to knead our flour okay so i'm going to be using my clean countertop [Music] so we can need our flower all right so we're just going to knead until the flour no longer sticks to your hand all right guys so after five minutes this is what your dough should look like so now we are ready to make our empanadas alright guys so once we're ready to make our empanadas we're going to grab extra flour and we're just going to dust it on our clean countertop and now we're just going to grab a small piece of our dough so depending on how big you are in your panels and it depends on how much dough you're going to grab so i'm just going to grab a little ball like that okay so just roll it and not throw it on your countertop like that all right so now we're just going to roll it as if you're making tortillas so okay so once we have our dough like that now we are ready to put in the filling okay so i'm going to add some cheese and now of course our filling okay so now we're going to grab the other side press it down and now we're just going to make sure that you secure the ends so just press it down just like that and now we're going to go to the end and then fold it inward so fold and press fold and press fold and press and once we have our empanada we're just going to set it on our baking sheet okay now we're just going to repeat the same process alrighty guys so once we have our empanadas on our baking sheet now we're going to stick it in the refrigerator and let them chill for one hour alrighty guys it's been an hour so at this point our empanadas should have dried out so now we're going to get them ready to cook so we're going to grab our frying pan we're going to set it on medium heat and we're going to add about three cups of oil so don't take your empanadas out until you're ready to cook them so we're just going to wait for the oil to heat up and then we can begin frying all right guys so this is what your empanadas should look like as you can see they're all nice and dry so now our oil is ready so we're going to throw them in and we're just going to fry them until they're nice and golden all right so i'm just going to cook about three empanadas at the same time just make sure that you add some oil on top of your empanada and just cook until they're nice and golden alrighty guys so once our bananas are nice and golden this is what they should look like so now we're just going to remove them from the oil and we're going to set them on paper towels or a kitchen towel and drain the excess oil now we're just going to repeat the same process to all of our empanadas alrighty guys so once we're done frying all of our empanadas now we are ready for the fun part alrighty guys and now for the fun part serving our delicious empanadas so i'm going to be serving my empanadas with some guacamole
