Plantain Picadillo Pie gets its inspiration from traditional Caribbean and South American recipes. Picadillo means “little pieces”. In this version, spiced ground beef combines with plantains and a tomato sauce for some great sweet and savory flavors.

Ingredients

The Secret Ingredient

Make It

Step 1

Place plantains in large saucepan; cover with water. Bring plantains to a boil; reduce heat to medium and cook for 30 minutes or until plantains are tender. Drain; add media crema and salt. Mash until smooth; set aside.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 375° F.

Step 3

Cook beef, onion and garlic in large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until beef is no longer pink. Stir in tomato sauce and bouillon; cook for 8 minutes or until liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Spread half of plantain mixture on bottom of 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese. Top with beef mixture. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese over beef mixture. Finish by spreading remaining plantain mixture over beef.

Step 5

Bake for 30 minutes or until bubbly and golden on top. Serve warm.
