Make quick, satisfying cheeseburger pockets using crescent roll dough filled with seasoned ground beef and melted cheese. These are perfect for a fast weeknight dinner or a portable snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese, cut in half (8 small squares total)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted (for brushing)
  • Optional toppings: finely chopped pickles, ketchup, mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cook the ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium heat until the beef is fully browned and the onion is soft. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Return the beef mixture to the skillet. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  4. Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Separate the dough into 8 triangles.
  5. Place one square of cheese near the wide end of each triangle. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cooled beef mixture over the cheese.
  6. Fold the narrow point of the dough over the filling and roll up toward the wide end, sealing the edges tightly. Pinch the seams together to close the pocket completely.
  7. Place the sealed pockets seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Brush the tops of the pockets lightly with melted butter.
  9. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving with optional ketchup, mustard, or chopped pickles.

Notes

  • To prevent leakage, press the edges of the dough together firmly after filling. You can crimp them with a fork for extra security.
  • If you want a shiny finish, brush the tops with an egg wash (1 beaten egg mixed with 1 teaspoon water) instead of butter before baking.
  • You can prepare these ahead of time; assemble the pockets, place them on the baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate for up to 4 hours before baking. Add 2-3 minutes to the bake time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
