Football Pork Pockets Recipe

In a large bowl, combine baking mix with garlic powder. Using pastry blender, cut in butter to form coarse crumbs. Stir in milk and 1 cup of the cheese to form stiff dough. Turn out onto surface dusted with additional baking mix; knead 10 to 12 times. Cover; let rest 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook pork cubes stirring frequently until cooked through and no longer pink. Add 2/3 cup of the salsa; stir to combine. Remove from heat; set aside. Divide dough in half.

Roll out one portion to 1/2-inch thickness. Using 3-inch football-shaped or round cookie cutter, cut out 16 biscuits. Place on baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon pork mixture onto biscuits, placing 3 or 4 pork cubes in center of each biscuit. Sprinkle each with remaining cheese; set aside.

Roll out and cut remaining dough as directed above. Place biscuits over cheese and pork mixture; pinch edges together to seal. Pierce tops several times with fork to resemble laces on football.

Bake in 375* oven to 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with remaining salsa.

TIP: Substitute boneless, skinless chicken breasts for pork chops, if desired.
