SLOPPY JOE POCKETS

SLOPPY JOE POCKETS

“A little pastry triangle made of refrigerated biscuit dough encloses a tangy sloppy joe filling. It’s a snack, it’s a little meal for kids, it’s an appetizer.”


1 lb. ground beef
¼ cup chopped onion
¼ cup sour cream
½ cup catsup
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. garlic powder
1 (12-oz.) can refrigerated flaky biscuit dough
2 Tbsp. Butter, melted


Cook and stir the ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium heat, Breaking the meat up into crumbles as it cooks, until the meat is well browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the fat from the beef in a colander. Return meat to skillet, and stir in sour cream, salt, and garlic powder. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat, and simmer while you make the pockets.

Preheat oven to 375^.

Unroll the biscuits on a floured work surface, and lightly roll each biscuit out to a square about 4-inches on a side. Arrange the squares on a baking sheet. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture into the center of each square, and fold a corner over to meet it'’ opposite corner, making a triangle. Seal the edges with a fork, and cut 3 small slits into the top of each pocket.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Brush each pocket with melted butter.


Yield: 12 servings.
