These Pizza Pockets, inspired by Amy’s Finer Things and Pocket Change Gourmet, turned out beautifully today!
I doubled our family’s favorite homemade pizza dough recipe for the dough.
Then I cut the dough into pieces.
And rolled those dough pieces into balls.
Next, I flattened the balls with the rolling pin.
When I turned my back someone was making some artistic designs on my rolled-out dough. 
Then, I dolloped a little of the filling on.
Sprinkled the filling with cheese
And sealed up the edges with my fingertips.
Ready to go into the oven.
The end result — so yummy and delicious! And my whole family agreed with me that this recipe is a definite keeper.
Dough:
Filling:
To make dough: Mix yeast into warm water until dissolved. Add sugar, salt, oil, and flour. Mix well and dump onto a floured surface and knead for 3-5 minutes.
To make filling (I browned this while mixing up the dough): Brown ground beef with onion (and green pepper, if desired). Drain. Add pasta sauce and mix together. Add other optional filling ingredients, if desired.
To make Pizza Pockets: Divide dough into 15-20 pieces. Roll pieces into balls. Flatten balls into circles with rolling pin. Dollop a few tablespoons of filling onto dough circle and sprinkle with cheese. Fold over and seal tightly.
Bake on a greased cookie sheet at 500 degrees for 10-15 minutes until browned.
To freeze: Cool completely and store in an airtight ziptop freezer bag for up to 2-3 months.
To serve: Remove desired number of pizza pockets from the freezer and warm them individually in the microwave for about two minutes or until heated throw. Or, warm on a cookie sheet in a 350-degrees oven for 20 minutes, or until heated through.
Recipe inspired by Amy’s Finer Things and Pocket Change Gourmet.

Build-A-Menu, one of our advertisers this month, is offering a $4 trial subscription to my readers this week. Just use coupon code JOIN2012 to get $4 off the regular monthly $8 fee, making it only $4 for one month.
If you struggle with coming up with a menu plan each week and you’re trying to stick with a grocery budget, using this service might be worth it for you. They offer six different meal plan options you can choose from:
::Family Friendly
::Low Carb
::Gluten-Free
::Vegetarian
::Low Fat/Sensible Portions (Uses the lastest Points Based System)
::Paleo DietEach menu plan includes breakfasts, lunches, snacks, dinners, a dessert and a Cooking With Kids recipe every week.
Instead of just getting a pre-made menu plan like most menu-planning services offer, Build a Menu allows you to customize your menu for your family and your budget.
Each week, you’ll be given a list of recipes to choose from to build your menu. Every recipe offered shows the current price of ingredients for each of the grocery stores they feature, many of which take advantage of sale prices, making it simple for members to create a weekly meal plan that fits a family’s budget.
Once you’ve chosen your recipes, you’ll get a printable customized grocery list and menu plan to use for the week.
You can take a tour and build a sample menu and grocery list here.
Want to try Build-A-Menu? Use coupon code JOIN2012 at checkout to make it just $4 to try it for a month.
A portion of all Build-A-Menu proceeds is donated to Orphan Care Ministries.
