Ingredients

  • 1 3 lb pot roast
  • 2 tbsp chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 3 carrots peeled and chopped
  • 1 apple (I used Granny Smith) peeled, cored and chopped
  • 2 pkg puff pastry thawed
  • 2 cups prepared mashed potatoes
  • 16 slices cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • In a slow cooker, add the roast, chili garlic sauce, brown sugar, salt, onion, carrots and apple. Cook on LOW heat for 8 hours. Shred the meat with two forks. Allow to cool for assembly.
  • Alternatively, use leftover pot roast for the pockets or your own go-to recipe for pot roast. 
  • Cut each of the four sheets of thawed puff pastry in half so you have 8 pieces.
  • One half of one piece, place about 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes in an even layer, leaving about 1/2-inch border at the edges.
  • Top the mashed potatoes with an equal amount of pot roast.
  • Top the pot roast with two slices of the cheddar cheese. 
  • Fold the pocket in half and crimp the edges with a fork to seal in the filling.
  • Repeat the process to make 8 total pot roast pockets.
  • Place the pockets in a single layer on sheet pans lined with parchment paper. 
  • Freeze the pockets for at least four hours. Place the frozen pockets in freezer-safe zippered bags to store, for up to one month in the freezer. 
  • When ready to serve, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the desired number of pockets on sheet pans lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes.
