Chili Cheese Pockets

You guys, pin this right now before you forget. Chili cheese pockets that are about to woo your spouse, thrill the kids and put a smile on your face. Seriously, I love these things. You probably shouldn’t make them every night as that’s never the healthiest choice, but I’m not kidding, you will love these cheesy pockets of chili. We used our favorite Dr Pepper Chocolate Chili, but you can see the bottom of the post for a few more recipe ideas.

It’s not just about the chili, which is always fantastic this time of year, or the gooey cheese which we all know what huge fans we are of cheese, but the biscuits are actually sweet corn biscuits which change everything. They are a little bit sweet and that is the perfect pairing for the spicy, hearty chili. And you can add whatever chili you like. I used our Dr Pepper and Chocolate chili, but you could do your family’s favorite or even store bought if you prefer.

These are so easy to make which means it is a great opportunity to let the kids try their hands at cooking. Just separate the biscuit and use the palm of you hand to press around the biscuit making it larger. Now add some cooled or slightly warm (you don’t want to start cooking the biscuit with hot chili) chili, a little cheese, and top with another biscuit. This next part is important as you need a good seal on the pockets. So, press the top biscuit down around the chili, leaving a small edge out from the bottom biscuit. Think of it like a hat with the bill all the way around. Now, gently lift the bottom biscuit, fold it up and over the edge of the top biscuit and press to seal. Brush with egg wash and bake! You’re all set for a fun dinner for Halloween!

And guess what? I can eat whatever I want this halloween because after 6 months of metal mouth I am finally braces free!! Woohoo!! (Scroll down and you all can get a discount for your own orthodontic work) I had to take a quick moment and mention this because while we know that there are a ton of kids out there, mine included that need braces there are also a lot of adults who need them and are waiting. DON’T WAIT! Seriously. Your teeth are only going to continue to move and trust me it is seriously not as bad as you think. In fact, it’s like being pregnant as soon as you’re there you notice that everyone around is as well. I cannot tell you how many people told me that they need braces but have been too scared to do it. I loved Dr Talbot and his staff. I never once had to wait for my appointment (they run a tight ship which I appreciate!) but that’s not all, so I made you a list, and no they did not ask me to do this.

*Everyone, including adults get a points card that keeps track of your points which you can cash in for awesome prizes like movie tickets, ipods, gaming systems etc. You get points by keeping your teeth clean, being on time etc which is genius to keep kids and adults in line and appointments on time.

*Finance plans are available so it’s never a worry and interest free is always wonderful 😉

*Dr Talbot is a perfectionist and will make your teeth look amazing, but he also works fast and efficiently so you are always progressing quickly towards getting them off. Hello, my bottom teeth were awful in front and 6 months later I was done.

*The staff knows you and is always there to help or just give you a friendly hello. That’s always a big deal to me. I don’t want to feel like patients are just cattle.

* Mention my name, Carrian from Sweet Basil and you or your loved ones get $400 off!!!
