Giant Empanadas

1 lb. ground beef
1 c. chopped onion
1 c. chopped green pepper
1 141/2 oz. can tomatoes ( I used crushed)
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 refrigerated, folded pie crusts
Cook beef, onion, and green pepper until beef is browned. Drain. Stir in tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally for 15 minutes. Place pie crusts on ends of cookie sheet. Place half of beef mixture on half of pie crust, leaving 1/2 inch border. Fold other half of pie crust over beef mixture. Press edges to seal.Repeat with other pie crust and remaining beef. Bake @ 400 for 20-25 minutes until pie crust is golden brown.

Top with lettuce, tomato, cheese, and sour cream if desired.

I am excited to try this. Aaron wants me to try and deep fry it. I don't know about that.

Tell Aaron to stop trying to act so crazy in the kitchen! Just follow the directions, it will be fine.

I tried this but I actually put it in the Enchilada ring instead of pie crusts and it is so good! Thanks Kenzie for letting me look at this site!
