Ingredients
1 pound of ground beef
1 small onion, diced finely
1 c of shredded cheddar cheese
1 (8 ounces) package of refrigerated crescent roll dough
2 tablespoons of ketchup
1 tablespoon of mustard
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Start by setting your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). To ensure itβs ready to bake the pockets. To a perfect golden crisp.
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.
SautΓ© Onions: Cook the onions for 3-4 minutes. Until they become soft and translucent. Releasing their natural sweetness.
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.
Season Beef Mixture: Stir in 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of mustard, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Mix everything together well.
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.
Assemble the Pockets: On a clean surface. Unroll the crescent roll dough. And separate it into 8 individual triangles.
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.
Seal the Pockets: Fold the dough. Over the filling. And pinch the edges tightly. To ensure the pockets are sealed. And wonβt leak during baking.
Bake to Perfection: Place the assembled pockets. On a parchment-lined baking sheet. Leaving some space between each one.
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!
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.
