Stuffed Buns

I made these stuffed buns for the kids' lunches again, and it's time that I share this simple and oh-so yummy snack / lunch box treat with you.  The first time I made them I used leftover chicken and broccoli in the filling.

The next time I made them I used leftover ham and broccoli.

Both delicious.  These stuffed buns are almost as popular around here as my Pizza Buns, and I'm thinking about trying a stuffed pizza bun version...sort of like a pizza pocket...but with the same sweet, soft dinner roll dough that makes these stuffed buns so amazing. 

The bread maker is the star of the show.  It does most of the work.  But you can use your favourite dinner roll recipe if you don't have a bread maker.  The filling comes together quickly if you're using leftovers.  Some cooked meat and veggies, some cheese, and a bit of mayo to bind it all together.

Roll the dough out into flat rounds, scoop some filling onto each one, seal and bake.  Super simple.
