Minced meat should be consumed quickly, since otherwise it loses many qualities and decomposes quite quickly. For this recipe I have used mini hamburgers purchased at a trusted supermarket, but they can also be homemade with ground beef. On the other hand, puff pastry is a very simple paste to make, there are recipes and methods for it everywhere, but nowadays it is more practical to buy the already made puff pastry sheets that we have available in any store. In any case, do not hesitate to continue reading to learn the recipe for puff pastry filled with ground meat, a simple and delicious dish.
Ingredients to make Puff Pastry Cupcakes Stuffed with Ground Beef:
• 12 mini-hamburgers of beef, chicken, beef, etc.
• 1 sheet of puff pastry
• 1 onion
• 150 grams of mushrooms
• 1 splash of ketchup
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 beaten egg to paint
How to make Ground Beef Stuffed Puff Pastry Cupcakes:
We preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Heat a frying pan with oil and cook the burgers for 2 minutes on each side, remove them and set aside on kitchen paper to release excess fat.
Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into squares. It is important that we calculate the size so that the squares wrap the mini ham burgers and the minced meat patties can be formed.
Fry the peeled and julienned onion and the chopped mushrooms. Cook until we see the golden ingredients and let cool. Fill the puff pastry cupcakes. To do this, on each square of puff pastry, put a mini ham burger in the center, top with a tablespoon of onion and mushrooms and a pinch of ketchup.
Moisten the sides of the puff pastry squares and form a package with each of them. Then, we seal the edges well so that the filling does not come out. We place the puff pastry cupcakes filled with ground meat on a baking tray lined with parchment paper with the seams down and, if we have any leftover dough, we can make decorations to taste. We paint the entire surface with beaten egg and make 2 small holes in each cupcake for steam to escape.
Cook in the oven for 15 or 20 minutes until they are golden brown. We serve the puff pastry cakes filled with ground meat as a starter, side dish or as a single dish with a sauce. We can prepare a salad of hearts of palm and tuna or a zucchini salad.
