Ingredients

• 450 grams Ground beef
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 120 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 package Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Season the beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the ketchup and Dijon mustard. Let the mixture cool slightly before proceeding.

Step 5

Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.

Step 6

Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the cooked beef mixture onto the wider end of each triangle. Sprinkle each with a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Carefully fold the dough over the filling, starting from the wider end, and press the edges together to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a more secure seal.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the cheeseburger pockets with the egg wash. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds to give them a burger-like appearance.

Step 10

Place the pockets on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy your cheeseburger pockets with your favorite dipping sauces or sides!
