Empanadas a perfect Prepper food ?

     Every one needs a way to make food storage interesting . I think Empanadas are a perfect high calorie way to keep your meals simple and tasty . All it is is a stuffed fried pie it can be stuffed with leftovers and fried to taste totally different. They can be fruit, meat, vegetables .I use Crisco instead of butter have made them with pork beef , chicken and rice. My grandmother made apple and peach and had never heard of an empanada . Simple dough stuffed with anything left over then skillet fried in oil. High calorie hand food  is always welcome in times of stress and activity .The link below is for Hors d'Oeuvres but you can make them large for a meal.

    1. Me to growing up. I have tried them with pork and chicken rice and vegetable's . What I like is a little left overs can go a long way once stuffed into the dough. I choose pan fry because its quick .
