Sorta Homemade Pizza Pockets

This is something different yet fun to make with kids and adults and, of course, yummy!  Makes a perfect lunch, snack treat, or served with a salad  a great dinner!


This recipe makes 4 large servings

 2 cans of crescent rolls
½ cup of pizza sauce (I made my own with an 8 ounce can of tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon of Italian seasonings, ½ tablespoon of garlic, 1 tsp. black pepper, 1 tsp. sugar, ½ tablespoon parsley flakes, 1 tablespoon green can/shaker Parmesan cheese mixed well)
Pepperoni slices (I put 6 large ones on each pocket--you put as many as you like)
1 cup Italian blend shredded cheese
2 tablespoons of melted butter with ½ tablespoon of garlic powder

 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Open crescents and divide into 8 rectangles.  Press seams between the triangles to make solid pieces of pastry. Four of the rectangles will serve as the bottoms of the pockets and four will be the tops.  Spread sauce on top of four bottom rectangles.  Top with cheese and pepperonis. Put on tops and press seams with forks.  Brush tops with melted butter and garlic powder. Bake 17-20 minutes.  Enjoy!

Feel free to add your own ingredients, such as, sliced red onions, sliced black olives, fully cooked Italian sausage or ground beef, bacon, pineapple and ham, bell peppers, roasted tomatoes, etc.

You could also use Alfredo sauce instead of pizza sauce and use leftover chicken.
