Ingredients
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
Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, for about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
4. Stir in ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
5. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
6. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese onto each triangle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal, forming a pocket.
7. Arrange the pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
9. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, add some diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the beef mixture. You can also experiment with different cheeses such as mozzarella or pepper jack for varied flavors. If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with a meatless alternative or a mix of sautéed mushrooms and bell peppers. To make the dish more wholesome, consider using whole wheat crescent dough.
