Great for a filling and less-than-boring lunch

Ingredients

2 pounds Ground beef

1 Small onion, chopped

1 (8-ounce) can Tomato sauce

2 teaspoons Chili powder

1 teaspoon Garlic powder

1 teaspoon Salt

1/2 teaspoon Pepper

1/2 teaspoon Paprika

2 (1-pound) loaves frozen white bread dough, thawed

1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation

In a skillet, brown beef and onion; drain. Add the next eight ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Cool.

Roll each loaf or dough into a 16 x 8-inch rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Cut each into eight 4-inch squares; top each with 1/4 cup filling and 1 tablespoon cheese. Bring the four corners together up over filling; pinch seams to seal.

Place on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise for 15 minutes. Bake at 350*F (175*C) for 20 to 25 minutes or until browned. Serve hot.

No beans are listed but I used 1 14oz can of kidney beans. It comes out delicious. My kids loved the pockets. Serve with a simple salad.
