*Additions - I added some red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture in the pockets and the sauce. When the biscuits were almost done I sprinkled with shredded mozzarella cheese.
This was very yummy and very easy to make! I think that the next time I make it I will brush the pockets with some melted butter and sprinkle with some garlic powder before I sprinkle with cheese, just to give it a little more flavor.
