So last week I came across a recipe for Taco Empanadas. It was fun and easy and I was able to use jumbo canned biscuits for the outside crust. They were yummy and the whole family loved them. So I started racking my brain and was curious if there was anything else that I could stuff in biscuits for dinner. And yes the possibilities are endless. I decided to try a traditional spin and use ingredients that we usually have lying around the kitchen: biscuits, chicken, mashed potatoes, and gravy.
So please check out my fun recipe for Chicken and Mashed Potatoes Stuffed Pockets:
