Make these easy, handheld cheesy ground beef hand pies for a quick dinner or game day appetizer. These savory pastry pockets use crescent roll dough for fast assembly.

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
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 package (8 count) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

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 to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion softens, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and mustard. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring well to combine the flavors. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly for 10 minutes.
  5. Once cooled, stir the shredded cheddar cheese into the beef mixture.
  6. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into 8 triangles.
  7. Spoon about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cheesy burger filling onto the wider end of each dough triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
  8. Fold the dough over the filling to create a triangle shape. Press the edges firmly together with your fingers to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork to make sure the seal is tight and prevent leaks.
  9. Place the sealed pockets onto the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Brush the tops of the pockets lightly with the beaten egg wash. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if you are using them.
  11. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and puffed.
  12. Let the cheesy meat pockets cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add 1/4 cup of finely chopped dill pickles to the cooled meat mixture before adding the cheese.
  • If you prefer a crispier crust, you can lightly spray the tops of the pockets with cooking spray before applying the egg wash.
  • These are best served warm for the maximum cheese pull effect.
