Another Recipe Winner

Are you ready for the easiest way to get rid of leftovers? This idea shouldn't even be legal.

Here it is: refrigerated pizza dough. Now, say with me.

Buy a tube of refrigerated pizza dough. Cut it into matching rectangles (I cut it into four, but if you have small kids, you can cut the dough into smaller rectangles.). Every rectangle needs a partner (a bottom rectangle and a top rectangle).

Fill it with stuff. I'll come back to this point. Seal up the dough, bake at 350 for 14 minutes. Serve with salad and soup.

Okay, so it's nothing more than a glorified hot pocket, but it's dreamy easy and dreamy good. My first venture included cheese, ham slices and ranch dressing. Presto: a hot ham and cheese hot pocket. But don't worry; I've got tons of ideas. Any meat leftover works (spagetti meat sauce, chicken curry (recipe to come... if you can handle the heat), sloppy joe mix (or what Hoosiers call--wait for it California people--Spanish hamburger), beef strogonoff sauce). All you need to do is add a binder: a cheese, for example. You can stuff them with veggies, roasted peppers, lunch meat, pepperonis.

It's as easy as can be. Bret loves them, and they even reheat okay. Next installment: the easiest cookies ever.
