I found a recipe a few months back and after I made it my husband said “those are like a cheesesteak sandwich.” Now I LOVE cheese steak sandwich’s so I altered the recipe and came up with this. I call them Easy Cheesy Pockets!
So first I cooked up some hamburger meat and added chopped green chilies. You could cut up a green or red pepper too.
Then I added some sliced mushrooms
Once my meat was cooked and drained I added cream cheese, ground cumin and chili powder.
I like mine really cheesy so I added some cheese wiz to mine (you can add real cheese, too!). I left my husbands plain because that’s how he prefers them!
Then you add a spoonful of the cooked meat mixture.
Fold in half and seal the edges by just pinching it together.
Bake them at 375 degrees for 11-14 minutes.
Then enjoy!
Here is the full recipe and directions
