Cook Mode

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked or leftover shredded or ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup sliced onion
  • Salt and pepper, as desired
  • 1 cup prepared mashed potatoes
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (1/2 package), thawed
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning

Cooking:

  1. Heat butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until melted. Add onion; season with salt and pepper, as desired. Cook 5 to 7 minutes or until softened and onion begins to brown, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool. 
  2. In a large bowl combine cooked beef, onion, potatoes, cream cheese and Worcestershire sauce. Mix together gently but thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper, as desired. 
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F degrees.  

    Using a rolling pin, roll puff pastry to a 12 x 9-inch rectangle and cut into 8 even squares. Place 1/4 cup beef mixture in center of each square. Pull edges around mixture, pinch to seal pastry closed. With your thumb make a dent in the middle of knish. Repeat with remaining pastry squares. Brush each knish with egg; sprinkle top with bagel seasoning. 
  4. Place knishes about 2-inches apart on parchment-lined shallow rimmed baking sheet. Bake in 425°F oven 20 to 25 minutes or until knishes are golden brown. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
