Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Parchment Paper
  • 1 Skillet
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 Fork
  • 1 Pastry Brush
  • 1 Floured Surface
  • 1 Oven
  • 1 Spatula

Ingredients

  • 1 Package Refrigerated Pizza Dough
  • 1 Pound Ground Sausage
  • 1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/2 Cup Jalapeños (optional)
  • 1/4 Cup Onion
  • 1/4 Cup Bell Pepper
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 Whole Egg
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter (melted)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

  • Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures a beautiful golden-brown crust that sets the stage for a mouthwatering experience.

Cook the Sausage

  • In a pan over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until it's browned and fully cooked. Break it into crumbles with a spatula as it cooks. Once done, set it aside to cool down.

Prepare the Flavorful Filling

  • Mix the cooked sausage with shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, onion, bell pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Make sure everything is well mixed for a burst of flavor in every bite.

Create Your Pockets with a Twist

  • On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a thin sheet. Cut it into 6x4-inch rectangles. Load up one side with the tasty filling, leaving a small border. Fold it over, creating a pocket, and seal the edges by pressing them with a fork.

Bake for Deliciousness

  • Place your hot pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash for that golden glow. Bake them for 15-20 minutes until they're crispy and golden. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.

The Finishing Touch

  • When your hot pockets come out of the oven, brush them with melted butter for an extra layer of rich flavor. This simple step adds a delightful twist that makes them even more irresistible.
