POCKET PIE FILLING 
1 lb. ground beef, cooked
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
1 tbsp. parsley
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. basil
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/2 to 1 c. grated Mozzarella cheese
1 can tomato sauce

Combine all in a mixing bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings. After dough has risen, transfer to lightly floured surface. Cut dough in 1/2; roll to 14 x 19 inch rectangle. With sharp knife, cut 1 rectangle in half lengthwise. Slice crosswise at 3 1/2 inch intervals. You will have 8 pieces each about 4 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches. Repeat with other 1/2. Spoon about 2 tablespoons filling on center of each piece. Sprinkle with cheese. Bring sides of dough together and pinch. Place pockets pinched side down onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool on sheets about 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
