Yummy Left-Over Meat Pocket Sandwiches

This recipe is becoming my "go to" recipe for left-over meat.  I made it last night with my left-over Perfected Pulled Pork (see my recipe on Sept. 12, 2011).  It was fantastic!  Light, flakey, and full of flavor.

YUMMY LEFT-OVER MEAT POCKET SANDWICHES


1 can (8 biscuits) Pillsbury Grand Biscuits

2-2/3 cups left-over shredded & chopped meat (I used pulled pork, but you can also use chicken, beef, etc.)

Your favorite BBQ seasoning or rub

1 egg white

1 tsp water

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

1.  Flour surface and rolling pin and roll each biscuit into a 6" round.
2.  Lightly sprinkle the top (which will become the "inside") with BBQ seasoning or rub.
3.  Place 1/3 cup of shredded and chopped left-over meat on the front half of the 6" round of dough.
4.  Pull the back half of the dough gently over the meat (to make a 1/2 moon shape) and press the edges together when they meet.  Crimp the edges with a fork.
5.  Mix the egg white and water together in a small bowl, and then brush the mixture over the filled dough.
6.  Sprinkle a little more of the seasoning or rub over the top of the pocket sandwich.
7.  Place on a baking sheet covered with parchment, and bake at 350 degrees until golden brown (about 20 minutes.)
8.  Serve with barbecue or other sauce for dipping.

Serves: 8

I served my pulled pork pocket sandwiches with left-over cole slaw and baked beans from our party.  It was an excellent, but simple dinner for under 600 calories.
