My review
Easy Mushroom-Goat Cheese Empanadas
USA WEEKEND columnist Pam Anderson
"Go deep this Super Bowl Sunday: Serve empanadas. These turnovers are perfect 'finger food' -- no knife and fork required. And because the recipes use refrigerated biscuit dough, it's an easy score. All you have to do is make the fillings."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Adjust oven rack to center; heat oven to 450 degrees.
- Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, stirring until moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes. Stir in chilies, garlic, cilantro, salt and pepper. Cook 2 minutes longer. Transfer to a medium bowl; stir in goat cheese until cheese melts. Cool to room temperature.
- Separate biscuits onto a cornmeal-coated work surface. Sprinkle with cornmeal as necessary, and roll each one into a 5 inch circle. Fill each one, using a scant 2 Tbs. filling and leaving a 1/2-inch border. Place on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. (At this point, can be frozen up to 2 weeks.)
- Brush tops with oil. Bake until golden, 16 to 20 minutes (longer if frozen). Makes 20.
Footnotes
- NOTE
- If 7.5-ounce can is not available, use a larger size, roll circles slightly larger and increase filling proportionally.

This was just so-so. I used the "Grands" size biscuits and had no problems rolling them out or stuffing them. The filling just wasn't that exciting. I think the chilies made the filling soggy...

The filling is great but I will definitely leave out the crunchies on the outside ... it was a weird texture.

These tasted great, but I burned the first batch completely. The cooking time can be reduced by about 10 minutes. Beware!

I did not make these as empanadas, but used pre-made phyllo cups in the freezer section. These were loved by the 3 guests I had.

These were delicious! A few tips: as someone else mentioned, they are easy to burn -- put them on the lower rack of the oven, or on the top rack but check them after 10 minutes and every 2 minu...

The filling was wonderful. The biscuits could have been better but over all, straight out of the oven they were yummy.
