This was another lunch box idea that went over really well with the boys. They could have turned out better, but for my first attempt I was just pleased that the boys liked them as much as they did. Next time I will probably make the pies smaller and use something other than canned biscuits. Make the night ahead and refrigerate. Pack them into a lunch box the next day and you’re good to go. Serve these with extra salsa and/or sour cream on the side.

Looks really good. I usually make mine with pie crust, but I’ll have to try biscuits.
Thanks- I will try that, too. I wasn’t too excited over the biscuits. It’s good to have options, I guess 🙂
These look great as well! Do you have any trouble with your children keeping them cold until lunch?
I guess they’re room temp by lunch, but they don’t seem to care 🙂 But Number Two uses an insultaed lunch bag and sometimes I throw a little ice pack in there. It works okay.
Good! As long as they think they are good – I’m happy with that. Kids are always our gauge of everything! 🙂 They would let you know if it didn’t turn out well………..These just sound so good!
My family would LOVE these! We would love to have you share these at our weekly Super Saturday Link Party at http://www.madefrompinterest.net
Thanks!
