Ground Beef Potluck Pockets

These ground beef potluck pockets are another recipe for you that uses pitas.  A homemade version of pitas is something I hope to make soon.  When I do, I will be sure to share.

This is a recipe I have been making for a while and is a family favorite.  Taste of Home magazine is where a found this recipe years ago.  The pockets are filled with a savory beef filling.

Then you drizzle it with a sauce.  You may not like this one if you are not a fan of salty because this recipe is quite salty so if you are not a fan of salty.  Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce is where the salty flavor comes.  So if you want it less salty, be sure to use reduced sodium soy sauce. This will be a great recipe for warm weather.  It’s all made on the stove top!  With about 30 minutes, ground beef potluck pockets come together.
