The advantage of ground beef is that you can make it as spicy with different ingredients as you want. The minced meat is always seasoned first and then the snacks are given further shape. So simple. Some examples where you can prepare tasty snacks with more or less seasoned minced meat.
Ground beef with egg
Ingredients
- 400 grams of ground beef
- 11 eggs (boil 10 hard and beat 1)
- paprika powder
- bread-crumbs
- coriander
- pepper and salt
- olive oil
Preparation
Boil the eggs in a saucepan so that they come out hard boiled and let them “spill” in cold water. Now mix the ground beef with some breadcrumbs, salt and pepper to taste, the beaten egg, some paprika and coriander (and of course more spices if it needs to be spicier!). After mixing, make 10 equal portions. Then make meatballs with a hard-boiled enclosed in it. Close the minced meat well and fry them in some oil for about 15 to 18 minutes.
Other options
The egg can also be replaced by something else, think of some vegetables (boil first of course). Remember that the minced meat can generally be a bit spicy.
Minced beef alternating with cheese
Ingredients
- 200 grams of ground beef
- 150 grams of cheese (spicy minced meat than regular cheese, less spicy minced meat than it can become spicy cheese)
- 1 bag of cheese sauce
- bread-crumbs
- splash of milk
- 2 eggs
- pepper and salt
- spices: depending more or less spicy (pepper, paprika, garlic, etc.)
- 4 slices of puff pastry
Preparation
Prepare the minced meat more or less spicy with the herbs, some salt and pepper, beaten the egg and the breadcrumbs. Then the puff pastry can be prepared by cutting into strips and placing a heap of prepared minced meat on each strip. Now make balls of it. At the same time, the cheese sauce can be heated and the cheese gently melted in it. In the same way as with the minced meat, put some cheese sauce (so should not be too thin) on the strips of puff pastry and fold them shut.
Coat all snacks with the other beaten egg and put it in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes at 200 degrees.
Other options
In addition to the ground beef and cheese snacks, other snacks can of course be included in the puff pastry. For example some satay, chicken (tasty herbs) or vegetables. This way you get more variety in the snacks.
