I found the idea for this meal in Taste of Home magazine. I’ve actually had this recipe for quite a while and finally came around to making it. I did change a few things in the recipe, but the main idea is there!

This is a very easy and fast dinner for those busy days when you come home starving and tired! I know we all have those days.You can also experiment with the filling. You can use chicken instead of beef or other veggies instead of broccoli.

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tbs olive oil
2 cups fresh broccoli, chopped small
salt
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup sour cream
2 sheets of puff pastry

Directions:
1. Heat up the olive oil in a medium skillet. Add the onions to warm oil and saute for a few seconds.

2. Add the ground beef, make sure to break up all the lumps. When the beef is about half way ready add the chopped broccoli, salt and red pepper flakes.

3. Cook until the beef is ready and broccoli is soft. Add the sour cream, mix well.

4. Spread your puff pastry sheets and cup them into 4 equal squares.
5. Place about half a ladle of beef/broccoli mixture in the center of the square. (make sure not to scoop too much juice because it will leak out.)

6. Wet your fingers with water and lightly rub edges of the pastry (it will make it sticky). Pinch the sides of the pastry together to form a triangle. Repeat with the rest of the pastry.
