Make these simple, handheld cheeseburger pockets using crescent roll dough for a quick dinner or lunch. They are filled with seasoned ground beef and melted cheese, offering classic burger flavor in a portable, flaky pastry.

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 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese blend)
  • 1 (8 ounce) package crescent roll dough
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce into the beef mixture. Cook for one minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  4. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into individual triangles.
  5. Place about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the cooled beef mixture onto the wider end of each dough triangle. Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheese over the beef.
  6. Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle or half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly together to seal. You can crimp the edges with a fork for extra security.
  7. Place the sealed pockets onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with the beaten egg wash.
  8. Bake for 14 to 18 minutes, or until the pockets are golden brown and puffed.
  9. Let the cheeseburger pockets cool slightly before serving. Serve with your favorite burger condiments like ketchup or mustard on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • For a freezer-friendly meal, assemble the pockets completely, brush with egg wash, and freeze them on a baking sheet until solid. Transfer the frozen pockets to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding 5-10 minutes to the bake time.
  • You can add finely diced pickles to the beef mixture for an extra authentic cheeseburger taste.
  • If you prefer a different crust, substitute the crescent roll dough with puff pastry sheets cut into squares.
