Steps:

- 3. Following package directions, microwave Beef Roast 4 minutes.
- 4. Unroll first pie crust on a lightly greased cookie sheet, stretching slightly larger than original size.

- 7. Remove Beef Roast from microwave, and roughly shred the beef with a fork.
- 8. Mound 1/4 of the beef on top of each section of Monterey Jack Cheese on the bottom crust.
- 9. Spoon about 2-3 Tbsp of Stokes Chili on top of the beef roast.

- 11. Unroll second crust and stretch slightly, then gently lay directly on top of the mounds.
- 12. Gently pinch the edges of the top and bottom crust together. (I often use the left over au jus to moisten the crusts to seal)

- 14. Lightly spray the top crust with cooking spray or coat with a light layer of olive oil. Sprinkle with your favorite mexican seasoning if you like. Score the top crust of each empanada with two small knife cuts to vent.

- 8. Place filling in the middle of disco, brush edges with egg and water mixture, fold in ½ and seal edges with fork.
- 9. Fry empanada in 350 degree oil until golden, about 4-6 mins, turning ½ way through. (You can also bake if desired until crispy and golden brown, but fried taste much better!).
- 10. Tips: 1. Place uncooked empanadas in wax paper and tin foil, in freezer bag for later use 2. As you prepare each empanada (if not immediately cooking) after sealing, place on wax paper and separate with wax paper or disco plastic to prevent sticking, cover immediately to prevent from drying out. 3. Goya Discos and Goya Sofrito are sold in frozen section. Let both defrost. Sofrito is hard to spoon if you do not defrost a little.
