In Latin America, empanadas (em-pah-NAH-das) are small, fried turnovers or pies that are usually built around seasoned meat. We have taken the terrific flavors but abandoned the frying to create a soul-warming potpie.
I think I will try mexican tomatoes and some cheese next time. I used already cooked ground beef. (I cook large batches of ground beef/bison and freeze it in ziploc bags to cut cooking time. I'm a working mom.) The only breadsticks I found were the canned ones from Pillsbury. I did not find any with garlic butter. I topped it with shredded cheese the last 5 min. Will definitely make again.

I had a can of Pillsbury biscuits, so I rolled out the dough into crust and used that. (Had to cover with foil the last twelve minutes of cooking to avoid the dough getting too brown.) It worked beautifully - just like potpie. Because of the other reviews, I tasted the mixture as I went and ended up doubling the spices. Will definitely make again - and plan to use the biscuit dough for the crust.
