Make these incredibly easy and cheesy cheeseburger pockets using refrigerated crescent roll dough. They pack all the flavor of a classic burger into a portable, flaky pastry, perfect for family dinners or game day snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (or American cheese slices)
  • 2 cans (8 count each) refrigerated 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 fully browned and the onion is soft. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the garlic powder, dried mustard, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce into the cooked beef mixture. Cook for one minute more. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  4. Unroll the crescent roll dough. Separate the triangles. If using slices, gently press two triangles together to form a larger rectangle. You should have 16 total pieces.
  5. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cooled beef mixture onto the wider end of each dough triangle. Top the beef with a small amount of shredded cheese or half a slice of cheese.
  6. Fold the dough over the filling to create a pocket shape. Crimp the edges firmly with a fork to seal the pocket completely. Make sure the seal is tight to prevent cheese leakage.
  7. 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 for a golden finish.
  9. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed.
  10. Let the **Cheesy Burger Bites** cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, add 1 tablespoon of ketchup and 1 teaspoon of yellow mustard to the cooked beef mixture along with the seasonings.
  • These **Homemade Cheeseburger Pockets** freeze well. Assemble them completely, place them on a baking sheet to freeze solid, then transfer them to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25-30 minutes, checking frequently.
  • If you prefer a crispier crust, lightly spray the tops with cooking spray instead of using an egg wash.
