Hot Pocket casserole Recipe

American · Main course · 45 min total

A fun, family-friendly casserole inspired by the flavors of a classic pepperoni pizza Hot Pocket, with a crispy top and gooey cheese filling.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (24 oz) jar marinara sauce
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 (9 oz) package refrigerated pizza dough
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef, onion, and garlic until beef is browned and onion is softened. Drain excess fat.
3. Stir in marinara sauce, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Unroll pizza dough and press it into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the prepared baking dish.
5. Spread the meat sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, then top with mini pepperoni.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
7. In a small bowl, mix olive oil and garlic powder. Brush over the crust edges immediately after baking.
8. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips

• Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
• For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to the meat sauce.
