Create these delightful cheeseburger pockets for a fun and tasty twist on a classic cheeseburger. Wrapped in crescent roll dough, they’re perfect for a quick meal or a kid-friendly dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures it’s hot enough to bake the pockets to a golden brown.
Cook the Onions and Beef:
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and soft, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a spoon and cook until it’s browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Season the Beef Mixture:
- Stir in the ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well to incorporate all the flavors.
- Season with salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to cook for a few more minutes to let the flavors meld. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Assemble the Pockets:
- Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate it into 8 triangles.
- Spoon the beef mixture onto the wide end of each triangle and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal, forming the pockets.
Bake:
- Place the pockets on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden and crispy.
Serve:
- Allow the cheeseburger pockets to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving to let the filling set, making them easier to handle.
Enjoy these cheeseburger pockets as a snack, part of a meal, or even pack them for a picnic. They are sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike!
