Sloppy Joe Pockets
Makes 8 pockets
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 (8-ounce) can no-salt-added tomato sauce 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons less-sodiumWorcestershire sauce 1 (16.3-ounce) tube refrigerated Grands biscuits (or another brand)
1 tablespoon melted butter
Heat a large nonstick skillet on medium-high and cook ground beef, onion, garlic, salt and pepper until beef is browned, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomato sauce, brown sugar andWorcestershire and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove fromheat and let mixture cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. (I recommend transferring mixture to a bowl to cool faster.) Heat oven to 350 degrees. On lightly floured surface, roll each biscuit into a 5 1/2-inch diameter circle. Arrange filling (about a heaping 1/4 cup per pocket) in lower center of each dough circle to within 1 inch of edge. Fold dough over filling to make a pocket and seal edges with fork. Arrange pockets on baking sheet. Brush tops with melted butter. Bake 15-18 minutes or until golden and baked through.
