Yum! Thanks for posting this! I had bought some refrigerated pie crusts because they were super cheap and I had no idea what I was gong to do with them. =)
oh gosh those look good I need to stop and get milk today looks like I will be getting cream cheese also and these will be on the menu tonight!
Refried Beans and some chips with salsa or cheese dip and you got a yummy dinner!
I need you to come to my house for dinner tonight! Thanks for linking up!
these sound really yummy! I am going to try these this weekend! Thanks!
Walmart always has boneless skinless chicken breast near me for $1.79 a pound which makes this even cheaper for me!
OH that is a great price! I wish mine had them that low!
So I made these last night and they were a big hit! I made a bunch, I used 2 pie crusts. Needless to say I will be having this for lunch also:)
Will add this one to the “to make again list”
Loos like a great recipes can’t wait to try it this week.
These were scrumptous!!!! I just made these tonight!!! Definitely YUMMO!! I will be making these again.. (I am going to have to try some shredded beef in these!!)
I didn’t have pie crusts, but I did use some croissant rolls and these turned out great! Thanks!
Meichelle,
So glad to know it worked with crescent rolls. I have some in the fridge I hoped to use in place of pie crust.
So when you freeze them, do you defrost them before you bake them, or just put them right in the oven?
It is just like baking a frozen pie. You can do it either way but it would be easier just to put them in frozen.
If you don’t want to take the time to roll out the pie crust and then cut it, Goya makes “discos”. You can find them in the frozen section in either plain (white flour), or corn meal (they are yellow). They come 10 in a pack and are around $1 -$1.50. You could also fill these with apple pie filling (or any pie filling) and give it a confection sugar & water icing on top. For the vegetarians fill it with whatever left over veggies you have. I know the Jamacian’s have a variety called Jamacian beef patties & Turkish people call them poof borek.
My family LOVES these!!!!!
or for a dessert put in some chocolate or nutella and when they come out dip in melted chocolate chocolate & serve with ice cream ….. the possibilities ARE endless 
You could also try using filo dough (although sometimes hard to work with) and wrapping them up like an envelope. Put a couple of layers down on a cookie sheet & brush with butter, put filling in and put more layers (probably about 4 layers at a time) and more butter and then more filling and ending with the filo dough and butter. Bake it in the oven @ 350 until golden brown. remove and cool a bit and cut into squares. Just make sure that whatever filling you use it is cooked prior to layering or stuffing
You could also use the filo 1 sheet at a time and layer in feta cheese & spinach, roll them up & cut to length you like, and then deep fry them.
These look super delish!!! What a fabulous idea. My kids will wonder what coupon I used to buy these gems and will die when I tell them they’re homemade.
What do you think about using the new Philly cooking creme instead of cream cheese and spices? It seems like it might work.
Made these for dinner and they came out delish!!! I added some sauteed onions to the chicken mix which made it even more delicious! Thanks for a great easy recipe!
just made these, omitted the chicken and added some sauteed jalepeno and red peppers. look bad (cheese oozed on many), but taste very good. made a homemade crisco crust.
