Categories     Breakfast

Time 10m

Yield 1 sandwich, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 jimmy dean turkey sausage patties
2 -3 slices cheese (I reccommend Cabot sharp cheddar cheese)
1/2 pita pocket
2 -3 tablespoons taco bell mild taco sauce

Steps:

  • First, heat a pan on medium heat (I like to spray a little cooking spray, because the sausages sometimes stick) and then cook the two sausage patties until browned.
  • Then take the slices of cheese and place them on the sausage pattie, and turn the heat down to low.
  • When the cheese is a little melted take the patties and place them in the halfed pita pocket. Then put the pocket back in the pan, and brown until lightly toasted on both sides.
  • Lastly, take out the pita pocket and spoon the sauce into the sandwich.
  • enjoy.
  • *NOTE: you can use any type of cheese or meat and sauce.

Tips:

  • For a crispier pita pocket, brush the outside with olive oil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes.
  • If you don't have a baking sheet, you can cook the pita pockets in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • To make the spicy sausage filling ahead of time, simply cook the sausage and peppers according to the recipe and let cool completely. Store the filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • When assembling the pita pockets, be sure to add plenty of shredded cheese. This will help to hold the filling in place and make the pita pockets more gooey and delicious.
  • Serve the pita pockets with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or tzatziki sauce.

Conclusion:

Spicy sausage pita pockets are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are also a great way to use up leftover sausage. With a crispy pita pocket, a flavorful sausage filling, and plenty of melted cheese, these pita pockets are sure to be a hit with the whole family.
