Sopaipillas Stuffed With Beef

Submitted by Sandy in Oklahoma

"These are soooo good. When I don't want to go to the trouble of making the sopaipillas, we have the meat filling on hamburger buns. It is so simple and very tastey. We always use aerosol cheese in a can when we have it on bun with sliced onions and dill pickle slices."

These were pretty good. I made them exactly as directed. I think I'd make a few changes, such as using cheese soup in place of the cream of chicken, and using diced canned jalapenos in place of the green chiles. That would kick them up a notch. I'd also like a little more "beefy" flavor in the meat, perhaps using consomme or french onion soup in place of the chicken n' rice. Still, a nice base on which to build. Thanks for the recipe!
