Ingredients

1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp. cold water, divided
1/2 lb. lean ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 cup HEINZ Tomato Ketchup
2 Tbsp. A.1. Thick & Hearty Sauce
2 tsp. GREY POUPON Dijon Mustard
1 cup KRAFT Shredded Triple Cheddar Cheese with a TOUCH OF PHILADELPHIA
1 egg

Steps:

Mix flour and baking powder in medium bowl. Cut in shortening with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add 1/4 cup water, stirring until mixture forms ball. Knead dough on lightly floured surface 5 min. or until smooth and elastic. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap; refrigerate while preparing empanada filling.
Brown meat with onions in nonstick skillet; drain. Add ketchup, A.1. and mustard; cook and stir 2 min. Cool completely.
Heat oven to 375ºF. Divide dough into 6 pieces. Roll out each piece on lightly floured surface to 7-inch round; place on parchment-covered baking sheet. Stir cheese into meat mixture; spoon about 1/3 cup onto half of each dough round. Beat egg and remaining water; brush onto edges of dough rounds. Fold in half to enclose filling. Press tops lightly to remove excess air; seal edges with fork. Brush tops with remaining egg.
Bake 18 to 20 min. or until golden brown.
