Make quick, satisfying cheeseburger pockets using crescent roll dough stuffed with seasoned ground beef, cheddar cheese, and a hint of mustard for a fun, portable meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely diced yellow onion
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir the onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the cooked beef. Cook for one minute until fragrant.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the finely diced onion and yellow mustard. Let the mixture cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
  5. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into 8 triangles.
  6. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cooled beef mixture onto the wider end of each dough triangle. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture.
  7. Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle up toward the point. Pinch the edges and the seam firmly to seal the pocket completely. Place the sealed pockets seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Brush the tops of the pockets lightly with the beaten egg wash.
  9. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Let the cheeseburger pockets cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, mix 1 tablespoon of ketchup into the beef mixture along with the mustard.
  • If you want a crispier crust, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sesame seeds on top before baking.
  • You can substitute Monterey Jack or Colby cheese for the cheddar if you prefer a different melt.
