How to Make Cheeseburger Pockets

1. Preheat Oven: Start by setting your oven to 375°F (190°C). To ensure it’s ready to bake the pockets. To a perfect golden crisp.
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.
3. Sauté Onions: Cook the onions for 3-4 minutes. Until they become soft and translucent. Releasing their natural sweetness.
4. Brown Ground Beef: 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.
5. Season Beef Mixture: Stir in 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of mustard, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Mix everything together well.
6. Adjust Seasoning: 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. To avoid making the dough soggy when filling.
7. Assemble the Pockets: On a clean surface. Unroll the crescent roll dough. And separate it into 8 individual triangles.
8. Fill the Dough: Spoon a portion of the beef mixture. Onto the wide end of each triangle. Then sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on top.
9. Seal the Pockets: Fold the dough. Over the filling. And pinch the edges tightly. To ensure the pockets are sealed. And won’t leak during baking.
10. Bake to Perfection: Place the assembled pockets. On a parchment-lined baking sheet. Leaving some space between each one.
11. Bake: Put the baking sheet in your preheated oven. And bake for 12-15 minutes. Or until the dough is golden brown. And crispy. The aroma will be mouthwatering!
12. Cool Slightly: After baking, remove the pockets from the oven. And let them cool for a few minutes. This will make them easier to handle. And allow the filling to set.
