Directions
Sweet and Spicy Empanadas, These are more sweet than spicy and there are a few surprise ingredients that really make these little beef bites quite delicious! My husband is a dipper and created the tomato-based sauce that perfectly complements these non-traditional empanadas The recipe makes 24 bite-sized appetizers, or you can make them twice as big and eat them for dinner :), This was a really great recipe The dipping sauce set this over the top! I tried blending the cream cheese in with the filling as another reviewer suggested I would not recommend this as it kind of gave the filling the appearance canned dog food Next time I think I may try spreading the cream cheese first or LIGHLTY tossing with the filling at the last minute Overall, this was a truly great and unique combo of flavors
