1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp mustard
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the beef mixture: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until soft (about 3-4 minutes). Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain the excess fat, then stir in ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Assemble the pockets: Open the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Spoon the beef mixture onto each triangle, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, fold the dough over the filling, and seal the edges.
Bake: Place the pockets on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Variations: Spice it up with jalapeños or hot sauce. Try mozzarella, Swiss, or gouda for a different cheese. For a vegetarian version, use plant-based meat or sautéed vegetables. A healthier version can be made with whole wheat dough or lean turkey.
Storage/Reheating: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes or use the air fryer for 5 minutes at 350°F for a crispy texture.
