Ground Stuffing

We use this Ground Beef Stuffing in a great variety of dishes: from Empanaditas and Cakes to Cakes in Leaves. It is also perfect for stuffing picaderas, pastelones, pasta, etc. I use it so much that I decided to simplify my life and add a separate recipe for when I need it in the future.

It can also be served as meat at dinner or lunch, and do many other things, you just have to be creative.


And while we're on the subject of the recipe, let me apologize once again for not posting as often as we were used to. I know that I already sound like a broken record (look for that on the internet if you are very young), or as if you were excusing my procrastination. It is not the case. Not at all



We have been adding many new videos to old recipes, recipes that are the most important in the blog, and that I had requested for a long time. We already have more than fifty recipes with videos, and more are coming. Take a turn to see them.

There was another good reason, last month I was in We All Grow, a conference for Latino bloggers in California, where I taught a culinary photography class with Ale de Piloncillo and Vanilla . Almost as important was meeting old friends (like Layla, one of my favorite cooking blogs ), and meet some friends who had never met outside the Internet, like Veronica , and Vanessa , also culinary bloggers.

And I made a small video of the trip as well.

And back to the recipe ...

It is a simple and versatile recipe, I have combined it with potatoes, which you can use to fill Empanadas , combined with raisins you can use it in Kipes , and combined with Fried Fries in what you like the most. Without these optional ingredients you can serve with pasta, to fill lasagna, and to fill in Cakes in Leaves .

I bet you have many more ideas, and I'd love to hear them.
