Make these handheld bacon cheeseburger pockets using refrigerated crescent roll dough for a quick and satisfying meal or snack. They are perfect for lunchboxes or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon water

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 with salt, pepper, and garlic powder until fully browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Remove the beef from the heat. Stir in the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped onion until combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.
  4. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into 8 triangles.
  5. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture onto the wider end of each dough triangle. Do not overfill.
  6. Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle shape. Press the edges firmly together to seal. You can crimp the edges with a fork for extra security.
  7. Place the sealed pockets seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the pockets evenly with the egg wash.
  9. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Let the pockets cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.

Notes

  • For a crispier exterior, you can lightly spray the tops of the pockets with cooking spray before applying the egg wash.
  • You can prepare these ahead of time; assemble them completely, cover, and refrigerate for up to 12 hours before baking. Add 2-3 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • Serve these handheld bacon cheeseburgers with your favorite burger condiments like ketchup or mustard on the side for dipping.
