Crock Pot Ground Meat Pockets Recipe

This recipe is one of my favorite Crock Pot meals. I call it "Crock Pot Ground Meat Pockets" because you can use any meat as long as it is a lean type ground meat.  I decided to change it up a bit and make ground meat pockets with this meat mixture.

This dish is such a versatile. I have frozen this cooked dish in two four serving freezer bags for two family meals.  I also used this recipe as a meat tomato sauce with pasta. And, of course, made it into turkey pockets.  It's so easy to do.

Ingredients:

Crock Pot Ground Meat Pockets ingredients

3 lb lean ground meat (chicken, turkey or beef)
½ cup chopped onion
Two cloves of garlic
40 oz of tomato sauce
1 (6 oz.) can of tomato paste
1 (3.8 oz) can of sliced ripe olives, drained
One drizzle of olive oil
1 tablespoon dried parsley
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
½ teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
Salt and Pepper to taste
8 - 12 oz shredded mozzarella
Four canisters of prepackaged croissant

Instructions: 

Add the olive oil to the pan, then add the ground turkey, onion, and garlic, and optional red pepper to it to make it spicy. Stirring frequently over medium heat for 6-8 minutes until the meat cooks. Drain the meat. 

Add the onion and garlic to olive oil and then add the ground chicken till brown. Stir frequently. Add parsley to tomato sauce

In the 3 ½ to 4-quart slow cooker, add the cooked meat mixture, tomato sauce, parsley, tomato paste, sliced ripe olives, and add optional dried oregano and mix well.
