Make these portable, baked pockets filled with seasoned ground beef and extra melted cheese using simple crescent roll dough. They are perfect for a quick lunch or satisfying snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded American 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. Add the chopped onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the beef. Cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and remove the mixture from the heat. Let it cool slightly.
  5. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into 8 triangles.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the cheddar and American cheeses together.
  7. Place about 1 tablespoon of the cooled beef mixture onto the wide end of each dough triangle.
  8. Top the beef with about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture.
  9. Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle up toward the tip. Pinch the edges firmly together to seal the pocket completely.
  10. Place the sealed pockets seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  11. Brush the tops of the pockets lightly with the beaten egg wash.
  12. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffed.
  13. Let the cheesy cheeseburger pockets cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, mix 1 teaspoon of mustard powder into the beef mixture.
  • You can substitute puff pastry for crescent rolls for a flakier texture.
  • Serve these portable cheeseburger snacks with ketchup or pickle relish for dipping.
