Pepperoni Pizza Pockets are so easy to make. They are so much better than a frozen hot pocket. Our dough started with refrigerator biscuits. We then added pizza sauce, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese. Then baked to perfection and absolutely delicious.
Pepperoni Pizza Pockets
I love experimenting with quick throw together meals. Have you tried the Chicken Salad With Dill or White Chicken Chili With Black Beans that I shared in the past? If you haven't, I suggest you try them. You won't be sorry.
The other day I realized there were biscuits in the refrigerator that needed to be used up. I try to always keep refrigerator biscuits and crescents on hand. They come in so handy for making things like Caramel Pecan Rolls ,Biscuit Wreath With Buffalo Chicken Dip or Cinnamon Apple Turnovers. I decided to try making some kind of pizza, I had pasta sauce that I could use for the pizza sauce, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese. What I ended up with, turned out to be more like a hot pocket or a calzone.

Next time I make these, I will probably add mushrooms or jalapenos. Pepperoni and mushroom or jalapeno are my favorites toppings for pizza. However, if you are a sausage eater or if you don't eat meat and want to make it veggie- that would be great also. In fact, the possibilities are endless. Maybe I should try buffalo chicken you can't go wrong with that.
