Saucy Pizza Pockets

These snacks are easy and fun for kids to prepare, but adults love them too. Keep the ingredients on hand. Serve with cold milk and celery and carrot sticks.

1/3 pound ground pork
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
3/4 cup pizza sauce
2 71/2 -ounce packages refrigerated tube biscuits
2/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Slices of pepperoni or Canadian-style bacon

Heat oven to 425 degrees F.

Place ground pork and garlic salt in large skillet over medium-high heat; cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pork is no longer pink. Stir in pizza sauce and cook, stirring, until heated through.

Spray two large baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange biscuits on baking sheets, leaving space between each. Flatten biscuits with hands.

Spoon 1 tablespoon of meat sauce onto center of half of the biscuits. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cheese, top with slice of pepperoni or Canadian-style bacon.

Carefully top with remaining biscuits; seal together outside edges of the top and bottom biscuits by pressing down with the tines of a fork.

Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until golden brown.
