What you will need
2 T vegetable oil
2 T butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound ground beef
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 T paprika
1 beef bouillon cube, dissolved in 1/4 cup water (I just used beef broth)
salt and pepper to taste
handful of raisins (optional, but I used)
handful of sliced olives (optional, I did not use)
2 tubes of Pillsbury Grands Biscuits
What you do
Melt the oil and butter in a skillet and saute the chopped onion til tender. Add the garlic and saute for another couple minutes, then add the ground beef. When browned, drain oil. Then add the spices and the beef broth. Also add raisins and olives if desired. Simmer about 10 minutes so that flavors can meld. Remove from heat.
Separate each biscuit from the Pillsbury tube and flatten into larger oval shapes. Spoon filling onto half of each oval shape, fold other half on top and pinch edges together.
Then bake at 350 for about 15-18 minutes until golden brown. Watch to be sure they don't overbake!
My boys enjoyed them for lunch today! Might tweak the filling and make other varieties in the future.
