Yield 8 Stuffed Puffs

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (397 g) package puff pastry, defrosted
3/4 lb lean ground beef
1 medium whole tomato, finely chopped, seeds removed
1/4 cup white onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeds & membrane removed, finely chopped
1/4 cup ham, finely diced or 2 slices bacon, crisp fried & crumbled
1/4 cup fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, smashed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet separate and fry your ground beef until it is cooked but not yet browned.
  • Remove any grease from the skillet , add the tomato, onion, jalapeno pepper, ham or bacon, mushrooms & garlic.
  • Stir fry until the vegetables are cooked.
  • Add the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce & oregano.
  • Continue cooking over low medium heat until the moisture has evaporated (approx 10 minutes), Season with salt & pepper. Allow to cool.
  • Meanwhile roll out the puff pastry into two 12" squares, cut each square into four 6" pieces.
  • Distribute the meat/vegetable mixture evenly on the center of each puff pastry square (just under 1/2 cup per square).
  • Fold one corner over to form a triangle and press the edges well together so they will not separate while baking, cut a small slit on the top of each puff.
  • At this point you may place the stuffed puffs on a cookie sheet and freeze them, when frozen wrap them well and place them in your freezer. When you want to bake them allow them to defrost in your fridge for 2-3 hours before baking. Continue with the final step.
  • Place the freshly made puffs (or defrosted frozen) on a cookie sheet in the center of a 400 degree preheated oven for approx 20 minutes or until they are nicely browned and cooked.
  • Serve warm.
  • You may want to, but not necessary, to serve a sauce on the side catsup, BBQ, Steak sauce or your favorite sauce, Enjoy.
