Pizza Pockets

I saw a commercial for something similar to these and so I got inspired...

You'll need:

-cookie sheet

- refrigerated Pillsbury crescent dough (reduced fat)

- Hunt's tomato paste (medium can)
- pepperoni slices

- shredded cheese (mozzarella, Parmesan, etc... your choice)

-optional: fresh veggies (like onions, peppers, mushrooms, etc...)
- optional: I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray and minced dried garlic



1. Unroll the dough and divide into rectangles (probably 4) onto a cookie sheet.

2. Spoon out tomato paste onto 1/2 of each rectangle. Save any leftover for dipping.

3. Divide pepperoni and any other toppings on each rectangle.

4. Carefully fold the corner of the dough over to form a triangle. You might want to use the edge of a fork to press the two sides together (and make it look a tad more decorative).

5. Be sure to pierce the top of each triangle for steam to escape while cooking.

6. Optional: Spritz on some butter spray and brush on with minced dried garlic to the top of each pocket.
7. Bake for about 13 minutes at 375 degrees.

Allow to cool slightly. Serve with any remaining tomato paste.
Bonus: The entire meal (including a salad) cost under $10 dollars (to serve 4 people!!).
