Three Meat Party Pies (The favorite of my subdivision)
Ingredients
2 C chopped cooked chicken
2 C cubed cooked ham
2 C cubed cooked Italian sausage
cook per package directions
1 jar stepped up spaghetti sauce
1 jar sliced mushrooms, drained
1 sm. chopped bell pepper
1 med. chopped onion
2 cloves garlic (optional)
4 Tbsp good olive oil
2 Tbsp Italian seasoning
12 oz. pkg grated Italian cheeses
4 cans Pillsbury Crescent Dinner
rolls
Coating Ingredients
1 egg, beaten
Sesame seeds
Preheat oven to 350f.
Grease large cookie sheet. I use Pam.
Sauté onions, bell pepper and garlic in olive oil until clear.
Add cooked meats, mushrooms, Italian seasonings, and spaghetti sauce and heat together.
Remove from heat and drain if needed. Stir in cheeses.
Remove rolls from package and separate dough depending on how many are needed.
For a casserole, you could layer the bottom of a 13X9 pan, add filling and put another
dough layer on top.
Separated each roll. Press it out on a buttered plate. Added the filling
(less than 1/4 cup) and then carefully pulled up the sides and pressed them together
as neatly as possible. Then
after placing them on the cookie sheet, I used a fork to edge and securely seal
all the folded edges. It is a little tricky, but after the first few, you will
develop your own style.
Place on baking sheet. Brush lightly with beaten egg and
sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake approx. 15 to 20 mins until golden brown.
To reheat: 350f oven, wrapped loosely in foil.
