Very good concept but I live in South Texas and we just don't put anything sweet into empanadas. I use pre-seasoned for fajitas chicken thighs (frozen) and warmed them up in some chicken broth in a skillet. Then added a bit more comino (cumin) and cilantro. Then I chopped up chicken and mixed in a can of Bush's Texas Ranchero Grillin Beans and stirred. On the pie crust I sprinkled some Asadero cheese, then some chicken/bean mix, and more cheese. Seal and bake. Serve with guacamole & salsa. Mmm!

These are delicious and easily prepared. I'm always impressed when a contestant comes up with a new way to shape a refrigerated dough product.

Why isn't the dough made from scratch? All it would take is lard or butter, flour and an egg or make a pie crust with flour butter and water. The filling sounds good but using Pillsbury flour and Land o Lakes butter would make the crust much better. I think of a bake off as food made from scratch.

I went to 5 different grocery stores and could not find the Progresso soup ingredient for this recipe. Aren't these recipes supposed to be friendly to the home cook with readily available ingredients? Frustrating.

I made this recipie last Monday for a friend's 77th birthday. It was a big hit! I would never have thought to put a can of soup in an empanda recipie, but it's a great soup and so it added a lot of flavor. The colors were great--yellow corn, red pepper, and black beans. Also, I thought the crust, brushed with butter and agave syrup, added the richness that you often find in South American meat pastries. I'd definitely make this again, both as a main course and for appetizers!
