 Savory Puff Pastry Ring with Ground Beef and Veggies 🥐🌶️

Ingredients:

1 package puff pastry (thawed) 🥐

1 lb ground beef 🍖

1 red bell pepper, diced 🌶️

1 green bell pepper, diced 🥒

1 yellow bell pepper, diced 🫑

1 small onion, chopped 🧅

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella works well) 🧀

1 tsp garlic powder 🧄

1 tsp paprika 🌶️

1 tsp cumin (optional) 🌿

1 tbsp olive oil 🫒

1 egg (for egg wash) 🍳

Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂

Instructions:

Prepare the Filling:

In a large pan, heat the olive oil 🫒 over medium heat.

Add the onion 🧅 and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.

Add the ground beef 🍖, garlic powder 🧄, paprika 🌶️, and cumin 🌿. Season with salt 🧂 and pepper 🧂 to taste. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

Add the diced bell peppers 🌶️ and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Assemble the Puff Pastry Ring:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) 🔥.

On a parchment-lined baking sheet, unroll the puff pastry 🥐 into a circle.

Place the beef and pepper mixture 🍖🌶️ in a ring shape in the center, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges.

Sprinkle the shredded cheese 🧀 over the beef mixture.

Carefully fold the edges of the puff pastry 🥐 over the filling to create a ring, slightly overlapping the edges.

Egg Wash and Bake:

Beat the egg 🍳 and brush it over the top of the pastry for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes ⏰, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Serve:

Let the savory puff pastry ring cool slightly before slicing into wedges. Serve with a side of sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce if desired. 🥣
