Scooter loves cheeseburgers, so this one will be for a cheeseburger empanada

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Chop onion very small and add hamburger. Cook until hamburger is done and crumbled. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Cut dough into 5” rounds
4. Place chopped hardboiled egg, a few slices of green olives and the meat mixture on dough.
5. Dampen fingers with water and run around edge of dough. Fold and crimp edges.
6. Bake on cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Save leftover fillings for the next recipes!
