  • 1/8 tsp cumin
  • 3 tbsp oregano
  • 3 tbsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 packages , empanada dough
  • water , to wet edges of dough

Directions:

  1. Place onions, oregano, good pinch of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a heavy bottom pot on medium heat and cover with the lid.
  2. Let onions sweat until they are translucent and then drain any excess liquid from pot.
  3. Add ground beef, oregano and sugar and mix well until the ground beef is not longer pink.
  4. Add more oregano, sugar, cumin, crushed red pepper, paprika, and salt and stir well for 2-5 minutes.
  5. Place into a storage container and let cool in the refrigerator over night.
  6. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of meat mixture into center of a single dough round.
