Puff Pastry - One of the Best Things On Earth


I love puff pastry. It's buttery and flaky -- what's not to love?! One of my favorite dinners to cook is puff pastry with ground beef. First, I don't make the puff pastry myself -- I buy the frozen Pepperidge farm product. If you can make your own pastry -- by all means make it, but the frozen ones are just as good. For the filling, I saute onions and garlic in a pan. Then, I add ground beef and peas. I liberally season this mixture with black pepper, sea salt, ground mustard, steak seasoning, and cayenne pepper.
One of the best things about puff pastry is that you can fill it with anything. You can make a savory dish - like the one I made or a sweet dish. Some good sweet pastry dishes include, sauted fruit, a flavored cream cheese mixture, melted chocolate, and etc. Some good savory dishes include, flavored rice, seasoned ground lamb (any ground meat for that matter), flavored vegetables medley, and etc. Bon Appetit!
