Ingredients:
Fry Bread:
flour
baking powder
salt
milk (powdered or regular)
My husband wasn't taught with measuring cups he was taught by seeing, and since I haven't ever gotten to watch him do it I don't know how much he uses.
Filling:
Sausage
Italian Seasoning
Onions
Bell Peppers
Mushrooms
Cheese
Olives
Pasta Sauce
Oil
Directions:
Mix all the ingredients for the fry bread. Kneed the dough for about 30 mins. then form individual balls (tennis ball size) flatten out the balls. Set aside. In a skillet add the sausage,Italian seasoning, mushrooms and onions and brown the meat. Add the sauce to the dough with a shallow spoon (don't over do it.) then sprinkle the cheese, meat mixture, and veggies of choice. Fold the dough in half (kinda like you would do with a taco.) then press the edges (or fold the edges over) together with the end of a fork. Set aside. In your skillet add cooking oil (make sure us have enough to cover half of your pocket) turn your burner on med hi until your oil is hot. Then turn it down to medium (or med lo) and add your pizza pockets to the oil after a few seconds turn it over. keep doing this until its golden brown. Let cool on paper towels and serve. These are so so so yummy.
My husband usually makes a lot so that way we can eat some the next day. You can check out fry bread recipes online at :

A little treat we like to have from time to time is warm fried bread with melted peanut butter. YUM YUM. What do you think would taste yummy in it?
