Make these simple, handheld pockets filled with ground beef, cheese, and classic burger flavor using crescent roll dough. They are perfect for a quick dinner or an appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried mustard powder
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add the chopped onion, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard powder to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  4. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Do not separate the perforations.
  5. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cooled beef mixture onto the wide end of each dough triangle. Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef filling.
  6. Roll each triangle up tightly, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the tip. Pinch the edges together to seal the pocket completely.
  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. This helps them brown nicely.
  9. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Let the cheesy beef hand pies cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Serve these with your favorite burger toppings on the side, like ketchup, mustard, or pickles.
  • You can substitute the crescent rolls with puff pastry if you prefer a flakier texture.
  • For an air fryer cheeseburger pockets version, cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 12 minutes, checking halfway through.
