#8-PIZZA POCKETS

The pizza pockets were actually easy, you just take the crescent rolls, divide into 4 rectangles (two triangles each) and pinch the seams together. I rolled them a bit to make them the right size, then filled with about 3 T shredded mozzarella on the lower half of the rectangle. I broke up a 1/4 lb. burger patty and sauteed it until it was crumbly, added about 1/4 c of prepared spaghetti sauce and spooned about 1 1/2 tablespoons on top of the cheese. Then I wet the edges, folded the top of the rectangle over, pressed the edges closed and crimpled with a fork to seal. I did poke the top with a fork for steam holes. Bake for 15 minutes, then flash freeze hard. I made 8 of them with 2 tubes of rolls, a cup of cheese, a burger and a bit of sauce, cost was probably about $4 for all. AND....I know what's in them.
