Cook With Your Memorial Day Leftovers! Stuffed Empanadas Recipe
After Memorial Day weekend you are sure to have leftovers! Instead of tossing out leftover hamburgers from the Memorial Day cookout, repurpose them into delicious empanadas with this simple recipe from Holland House Cooking Wine. I love taking leftovers and making them in to a new dish. This one doesn’t disappoint!

Great way to use up leftover hamburger!

- Cut 8 squares out of pizza crust and fill each crust with 2 tablespoons of filling and 1 tablespoon of Chihuahua cheese.
- Fold over and crimp edges with a fork.
- In a small bowl combine egg and water and mix thoroughly.
- Brush with egg wash and bake in a preheated 350ºF oven for 14-16 minutes or until empanadas are golden brown.
- Serve with salsa or a Chimichurri Dipping Sauce

I was happy and excited to try something new. I almost gave up when I learnt he was from Africa but by faith I contacted him and that was the end of my HIV. From Full Blown Aids to HIV negative. Sharing this testimony is one of the happiest things for me to do. All I did was to order his Herbal medicine from Africa and it was shipped to me by the UPS delivery company. It only took me 23 days to complete the medication, Surprisingly I did HIV test twice and tested negative. He is not popular but powerful.
