Mini Golden Beef Pockets image

You know those handheld pizza pockets you can find in the freezer section of the grocery store? Well they were one of my favorite after-school snacks growing up so I've made my own version-a mashup of those pockets combined with another favorite of mine: Jamaican beef patties.

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 pockets

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 pound lean ground beef
1 onion, finely diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 to 2 teaspoons Caribbean all-purpose seasoning
1 teaspoon browning sauce, such as Grace
1 teaspoon dried jerk seasoning
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 small Roma tomato, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 14.1-ounce packages refrigerated pie crusts
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 teaspoons ground turmeric

Steps:

  • For the filling: Preheat the oven 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, onion and garlic and cook until the beef is browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Stir in the ketchup, all-purpose seasoning, browning sauce, jerk seasoning, allspice, ginger, soy sauce, thyme, green onions and tomato. Cook until the mixture is bubbly and heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.
  • For the dough: Unroll the dough and trim the edges to create a rectangle. Cut each pie dough into four even pieces. Place half of the rectangles on the prepared baking sheets. Spoon the filling evenly into the center of each rectangle. Brush the edges with water and place the remaining rectangles on top. Crimp the edges with a fork. Cut slits in the tops of the pockets to allow steam to escape. Bake until the dough begins to brown and crisp around the edges, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix the butter and turmeric in a bowl until combined. Brush the pockets with the turmeric butter. Bake until done, another 5 minutes.

PIZZA POCKETS



Pizza Pockets image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h20m

Yield 18 pizza pockets

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 teaspoons instant or active dry yeast
8 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2/3 cup olive oil, plus more for coating the bowl
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 onion, diced
8 ounces white button mushrooms, sliced
8 ounces brown button mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/4 cup white wine
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
8 ounces Italian sausage
Olive oil, for browning sausage
1 jar marinara sauce
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
4 ounces pepperoni
4 ounces Canadian bacon
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • For the dough: Sprinkle the yeast over 3 cups warm (not lukewarm) water. Let stand for a few minutes.
  • In a mixer, combine the flour and salt. With the mixer running on low speed (with a paddle attachment), drizzle in the olive oil until combined with the flour. Next, pour in the yeast/water mixture and mix until just combined and the dough comes together. (The dough will be sticky.) Form the dough into a ball.
  • Coat a separate mixing bowl with a light drizzle of olive oil and toss the dough in the olive oil to coat. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set it aside for 1 hour to rise. Then put it in the fridge to chill for 2 hours or longer. (The dough is much easier to work with when very cold.)
  • For the mushroom version: Add the olive oil to a pan with the heat on medium and saute the garlic and onions for about a minute. Add the mushrooms and thyme and saute for 3 minutes. Add the white wine and reduce for a couple of minutes until most of the liquid is gone. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool to room temperature.
  • For the meat version: Crumble the Italian sausage into a skillet with some olive oil and brown until cooked through, 5 minutes. Let cool.
  • When you are ready to make the pizza pockets, take half the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle. Cut into 18 rectangles with a rectangular cutter. Put 9 of the rectangles onto a baking sheet and top them with the fillings for the meat version: some marinara sauce, mozzarella, sausage, pepperoni and Canadian bacon. Lay the other 9 rectangles on top and crimp the edges with a fork. Brush with the beaten egg. Put into the freezer to flash-freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Repeat with the other half of the dough and the fillings for the mushroom version: some mozzarella, goat cheese and the sauteed mushrooms.
  • When the pockets have been flash-frozen, transfer to ziptop bags and store in the freezer.
  • When ready to cook, place on a baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes.

Here's what you need: puff pastry, ground beef, russet potato, tomato, taco seasoning, water, shredded mexican cheese blend, grated parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, shredded provolone cheese, ricotta cheese, italian seasoning, salt, shredded cheddar cheese, eggs, bacon, pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, egg

Provided by Chris Salicrup

Categories     Lunch

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 sheets puff pastry
½ lb ground beef
¼ cup russet potato, diced
¼ cup tomato, diced
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
¼ cup water
½ cup shredded mexican cheese blend
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
¼ cup mozzarella cheese
¼ cup shredded provolone cheese
¼ cup ricotta cheese
¼ teaspoon italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 eggs, scrambled
6 slices bacon, cooked
2 tablespoons pizza sauce
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
10 slices pepperoni
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, potatoes, tomatoes, and taco seasoning. Cook until the beef begins to brown. Then add the water, cover with a lid, and let simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
  • In a bowl, mix together parmesan, mozzarella, provolone, ricotta, Italian seasoning, and salt. Set aside.
  • Flour a clean working surface and place two sheets of puff pastry next to one another, slightly overlapping on the edge. Press overlapping edges together firmly and roll out with a rolling pin to match the size of an 18x13-inch (45x30-cm) sheet tray. Repeat with two more sheets of puff pastry and set aside under a slightly damp towel until you're ready to start assembling.
  • To assemble, spray an 18x13-inch (45x30-cm) sheet tray with cooking spray and place one of the big pieces of puff pastry on the sheet. Press the dough into the corners.
  • Divide the sheet tray into eight sections. First, place half of the four-cheese mixture onto the dough and shape into a small rectangle that takes up about ⅛ of the sheet pan, leaving about half an inch from the edges of the corner of the pan. Repeat below with the rest of the four-cheese mixture.
  • Next to the four-cheese pockets, make a rectangle with cheddar, followed by scrambled eggs, bacon, and more cheddar on top. Repeat for another egg, bacon, and cheese-flavored pocket.
  • Then, sprinkle some Mexican blend cheese in the shape of a rectangle, followed by the cooked taco meat, and topped with more Mexican blend cheese. Repeat for another taco-flavored pocket.
  • Lastly, spread some pizza sauce in a rectangle shape and top with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and a little more cheese on top. Repeat for another pizza-flavored pocket.
  • Using a pastry brush, brush around each rectangle with egg wash. Cover the whole sheet pan with the other puff pastry sheet and press firmly down in between each rectangle to seal and form an isolated pocket.
  • Once those feel secure, cut the dough into 8 rectangular pockets, and remove any excess dough from the sides. Using a fork, poke each pocket 4 times for ventilation and brush each pocket with egg wash.
  • Bake for 28-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pockets have puffed up.
  • Enjoy!
