Cheeseburger Pockets Recipe
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
| Ground beef | 1 pound |
| Small onion, diced finely | 1 |
| Shredded cheddar cheese | 1 cup |
| Refrigerated crescent roll dough | 1 package (8 ounces) |
| Ketchup | 2 tablespoons |

How To Make Cheesy Cheeseburger Pockets:
- Step 1: Preheat Oven: Start by setting your oven to 375∘F(190∘C).
- Step 2: Cook Onions and Beef: Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the finely diced onion. Cook the onions for 3-4 minutes until they become soft and translucent. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. Continue cooking for about 6-8 minutes, or until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Step 3: Season Beef Mixture: Stir in 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of mustard, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Mix everything together well. Add salt and pepper to taste, and let the mixture cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Step 4: Assemble the Pockets: On a clean surface, unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles.
- Step 5: Fill and Seal: Spoon a portion of the beef mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Then sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on top. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to ensure the pockets are sealed.
- Step 6: Bake to Perfection: Place the assembled pockets on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each one. Bake in your preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
- Step 7: Cool Slightly: After baking, remove the pockets from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
