SWEET AND SPICY EMPANADAS
These are more sweet than spicy and there are a few surprise ingredients that really make these little beef bites quite delicious! My husband is a "dipper" and created the tomato-based sauce that perfectly complements these non-traditional empanadas. The recipe makes 24 bite-sized appetizers, or you can make them twice as big and eat them for dinner. :)

Steps:
- For the sauce:
- Combine all ingredients and whisk till smooth.
- For the empanadas:.
- Take the pastry sheets out of the freezer 40 minutes before your empanadas will be ready to be filled.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Peel the potatoes and dice them fairly small. Cover them with water and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or till tender.
- Meanwhile, mince the onion and place in a large bowl with the beef, all the sugar and spices, and the milk. Knead with your hands until the mixture is very soft.
- Cook the meat mixture in a skillet over medium heat until the beef is browned.
- Drain the potatoes and mix them in with the meat. Drain any excess fat. (The potatoes should soak most of it up).
- Cut the pastry into 24 equal rectangles and divide the mixture between them.
- Divide the cream cheese into 24 portions as well and squish it on top of the meat so it evenly covers.
- Fold the pastry over and seal the edges by folding or pinching.
- Place on baking sheet and bake for 13-15 minutes, or until puffy and golden brown.
- Remove from oven, place on serving plate, and dip in the sauce if you desire!
