I forgot to mention that instead of spraying a cookie sheet, I used parchment paper. While it has a slightly different end result, you could always spray with cooking spray before popping them in oven if you wanted to; I just use parchment paper when baking or even reheating anything in the oven

I gave this a 3 because if I'd followed the recipe, it would've been a bland meal. Southwest to me means spicy. While browning the meat I added granulated garlic and I used 1 medium onion and 2 jalapeno peppers I had frozen from the garden for a kick. I also added about 2 cups of the hash browns. I chopped the carrots coarsely after draining and rinsing them. Next time I would use fresh carrots run through the food processor. It looked lacking so I added 1 can of tomato paste to meat mixture. I needed extra water while mixing the Bisquick in order to get a doughy consistency. I topped the meat mixture off with shredded cheddar before sealing the pockets. All told, from start to putting them in the oven took me 45-60 minutes, but it was worth it. I ended up with 9 pockets instead of 6 and still had meat mixture left over. I filled the dough pockets generously, more than 1/2 cup of mixture. My husband, who is a machinist rolled the dough out for me, so I know he rolled out 7-inch circles. Precision is his middle name. We would make again.

These aren't like the restaurant empanadas, but they were really good, and were a quick and easy meal. I split these into 7 and they were still very big, but good and filling enough for a standalone dinner. You can probably make them smaller for appetizers. The bottoms will flatten out, and we brushed the tops with some melted butter for some flavor. I didn't have hash browns, so I added chopped tator tots. I couldn't really taste it, though, so it could probably be omitted. I added in bell peppers and it definitely gave it some more flavor. I also made a chicken empanada by using shredded chicken, peppers and onions, and a mix of a little bit of queso/milk. We dipped both of these empanadas in white queso, and they were delicious! Will definitely make again.

This is just a basic copy of the English UK "Cornish Pasty" Everything is exactly the same except the addition of the Taco seasoning and is part of Cornish History since the 1200's So I am a bit surprised and disappointed that it has been given a new name as if it is a Brand new recipe invented by the Betty Crocker Team
