How To Make marie's empanada filling

• Step 1
  Dice Onions
• Step 2
  Mince or Crush Garlic Cloves
• Step 3
  Add about 2 Tables spoons of Olive oil to your pan. Let it heat up and place Diced Onions and Garlic cloves in the pan for a few minutes to allow onion to sweat. Remove the onion and garlic from the pan to a bowl for later.
• Step 4
  In A 2 quart pan, cook hamburger. (While cooking Hamburger continue your prep work.) Once cooked drain off the fat.
• Step 5
  Dice Bell peppers and cube potatoes.
• Step 6
  Add Garlic, Onion, peppers, potatoes and rice to the pot of cooked hamburger.
• Step 7
  And Seasoning, Cover with water until everything is covered. Bring it to a boil. Lower the heat,cover and let it simmer until the liquid absorbs and the potato and rice are cooked. Let it set to cool off. I put mine in 2 bowls and placed them in the fridge. I found they work better when the mixture is cooled off enough to work with. The flavors marinade.
• Step 8
  I filled my empananda shells and place 2 whole olives in each one. You can cut them in half, I did the last time I cooked them. But the whole olive works wonders. You can deep fry them for a couple of minutes in a deep fryer or on the stove until they are as brown as you like. They can be baked But I have never done it.
