Homemade Hot Pockets

Oh the canned goodness of prepared biscuit dough. Seriously, it may be the perfect food to begin any number of fantastic dinner combinations....thank you Pillsbury! Here is a classic recipe that can be tweaked for any sort of 'fridge clean out' night you may be having. Tonight for us was one such night, and I am always amazed at how good these turn out every time!
