Goya Baked Beef Empanadas
What it is

The pastry is typically golden brown and flaky, enclosing a hearty beef filling. Each empanada is individually portioned, making them easy to serve and enjoy.

- Appetizer for gatherings
- Quick lunch option
- Snack on the go
- Party food
To enjoy, simply reheat the empanadas. They can be warmed in an oven or toaster oven until the pastry is crisp and the filling is heated through. Microwaving is also an option for a faster reheat, though the pastry may not achieve the same level of crispness. Serve them warm as a standalone item or with a dipping sauce of your choice.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike empanadas that are fried, these are baked, resulting in a lighter texture. The baking process also contributes to a different kind of crispness compared to fried versions. The seasoning of the beef filling is a key characteristic that sets these apart.
Who it is for
These are for anyone looking for a simple and satisfying savory pastry.
How to keep the rest
Store any unused empanadas in their original packaging or an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should be consumed within a few days of opening. For longer storage, they can be frozen and reheated directly from frozen.
