One of my favorite things to make are hand pies…they are basically a home made version of a Hot Pocket. You can fill them with anything you like and then just pop them in the oven and bake them up.

When you take advantage of the magic of pre-made dough, life is crazy simple. There is no measuring or kneading necessary. You simply pop open a can and you are in business. In just minutes you can have a tasty meal that everyone loves. The best part is that each individual sandwich can be customized. So everyone in your family can make theirs exactly how they want them. Have picky eaters who won’t touch a green veggie? No problem—leave the broccoli out! Want to add some sausage in place of the ham? That  is easily done. No matter what you stuff in your hand pie, it always turns out great and the best part, it’s easy and typically a very economical option.
