Saucheesies, anyone?

Gloucester Daily Times

Saucheesies are a very unique item to southern Indiana.

Chef Jancey Smith describes them as “a mega hot pocket filled with sausage, cheese, peppers and onions.”

The saucheesie is a favorite among Indianans especially while watching the game, or enjoying a night with the kids.

Close to a calzone, saucheesies use bread dough to wrap up all the savory ingredients inside. The trick to the saucheesie is to fill it as much as you can.

IF you don’t add enough filler, the finished product will be a puffed up pastry with more air than filling; so you don’t need to worry about over stuffing, cause that’s what it’s all about.

The saucheesie is working its way out of southern Indiana and on to your dinner plate. Why don’t you give it a try?
