We just completed our first trip of the season out to Wyoming to do a bit of mountain snowmobiling. Went to Togwotee Mountain Lodge with 3 friends. The lodge is nice but they don't provide us with a hot lunch when we're out riding. So I had to hit the kitchen before heading west. We have muffpots installed on our machines to heat our food up while we ride. Hot pockets are a popular item for that. I'm not going to eat that "packaged stuff", so I made my own. I have 2 muffpots on my Ski-Doo, one for lunch and one for dessert. But this time I put another hot pocket in the second muff pot for our guide, Brent. Feed him well and he will find us better powder. Too bad the homemade hot pocket wouldn't make his Arctic Cat run better, but we had a great time anyway. I made Bacon Cheeseburger hot pockets this time. A great combination of ground beef, smoky bacon with a little ketchup and mustard, and of coarse, cheese. Below is my recipe. HOT POCKETS Hot Pocket Dough · 1 ½ cups warm Milk · 1 tsp Yeast · 2 Tbs Sugar · ½ tsp Salt · 1/3 cup Oil · 1 Egg, beaten · 4 Cups Flour · 1 Egg, beaten with 1 Tbs Water In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. In a large bowl, combine flour, oil, salt, sugar, egg, and the yeast mixture; stir well to combine. Beat well until stiff dough has formed. Place in a greased bowl and cover. Allow it to rest until doubled in volume. Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface. Form into a log and cut in half. Then cut each half into quarters, you should have 8 equal pieces. Bacon Cheeseburger Filling · 1 pound of Ground Beef · ½ pound Bacon, cut into pieces · 1 medium Onion, diced · 2 cups Cheese, shredded · Ketchup and Mustard, to taste Heat a heavy bottomed skillet on medium heat, add bacon and fry until crispy. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain. Pour off most of the fat, and return the pan to the heat. Add the ground beef and cook until well browned. Add onions and continue to cook until they are soft. Transfer to a bowl to cool completely before assembling the Hot Pockets. On a floured surface, roll a dough ball into a 7 x 9 inch oval. Add ½ cup of the burger mixture to the center. Add a few dabs of ketchup and mustard, season with salt and pepper, then cover with a ¼ cup cheese. Pull the short ends of the dough together and pinch tightly to seal. Continue with the other 2 sides. Place seam side down on a greased sheet pan. Continue with the remaining pieces. Cover the hot pockets with plastic wrap and allow to rest for ½ hour before baking. Brush each piece with some of the egg wash and bake in a 350° oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. When cool, wrap each hot pocket in aluminum foil and freeze until ready to go snowmobiling. Works equally well with Italian sausage, mushrooms, pizza sauce, and mozzarella cheese. To cook Hot Pockets, remove foil and wrap in parchment paper. Place in Muff Pot, put Muff Pot back into its holder on the exhaust pipe and ride the sled like you stole it. It should be hot and ready to eat in 2-3 hours or 15 to 20 miles.
