I make small empanadas all the time and freeze them. Just make sure you flash freeze (put on a tray until frozen then put them in a bag, that way they don’t stick together.) And thaw them completely before cooking. They turn out as good as if you just made them. Thanks for this recipe. It looks great and really easy.

Hmm, I’ve never tried it but I don’t see why you couldn’t make the filling ahead of time and freeze it!

Think I’ll try this when the weather cools off. Since it’s just me and my husband, might make individual pies instead of 1 large one and then freeze extras. In that case do you think I should cool off the meat mixture before adding to pie crusts and freeze without baking?
