Cheesy Cheeseburger Pockets

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cook the Beef

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add onions and cook until translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
Stir in ground beef and cook until browned, about 6–8 minutes.
Drain excess fat if necessary.

3. Season It Up

Add ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
Season with salt and pepper.
Cook for another 2–3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly (warm filling works best).

4. Roll & Fill

Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles.
Spoon 2–3 tbsp beef mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
Top with 1–2 tbsp shredded cheese and a pickle slice if desired.
Fold corners over filling, roll toward the tip, and pinch seams shut.
Place seam-side down on the baking sheet, spaced 1 inch apart.

5. Bake to Perfection

Bake 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.

6. Cool & Serve

Let cool 3–5 minutes before serving.
Serve with ketchup, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce!

Tips for Success

  • Cool the filling slightly before assembling to prevent soggy dough.

  • Seal seams tightly to avoid leaks.

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan for even browning.

  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.

  • Freezer-friendly: Cool completely, wrap tightly, and freeze up to 3 months.

Storage

  • Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

  • Reheat: 375°F oven for 8–10 minutes for crisp results.

  • Freeze: Reheat from frozen, adding 2–3 extra minutes to the bake time.
