Pita Pocket Pizzas

Jennifer made Pita Pocket Pizzas this month.  The inspiration for this recipe is from the cookbook Girlfriends on the Go.  

1 package of pita pockets
1 pound ground hamburger or sausage, cooked and crumbled
Pizza sauce
Mozzarella cheese
other pizza toppings, optional

Place one to two tablespoons pizza sauce inside pita pocket.  Top with 1/4 cup hamburger (or meat choice).  Add other pizza toppings as desired.  Top with 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese.  Freeze by wrapping individually in paper towels, wax paper or saran wrap.  These can be microwaved from frozen for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.  I like to bake them at 350 for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
