All these holidays and Christmas trees, early shopping and ice rinks(we have one 20 minutes away!) can be overwhelming . Planning, menus, guests… you name it!

How about getting a break and treat yourself with some quick savory deliciousness? Taking just 30 minutes to make, this beef blue cheese braided puff pastry will comfort you in the best way.

 

The best time to eat a piece of braid is when its still warm, but the best time to slice is when already chilled. You decide! I sliced it when it was still warm and crumbly, but the best flavor is truly right out of the oven !

I was very disappointed after making this It was really dry. The pastry was fine but the ground beef was just way too dry.

@Jane Waldmann, I was wondering when you wrote this if you didn't put the blue cheese in with the ground beef and mushrooms because no where in the recipe does it say to add the blue cheese!

@Jessica Pinney, Great idea, but no where in the recipe does it say add the blue cheese!! I am assuming you are supposed to figure that out??
