Cheeseburger Pockets – A Family Favorite! – Page 2

Instructions

Prepare the Cheeseburger Filling

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
Add the chopped onion and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until softened.
Stir in garlic powder, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it’s melted and the mixture is creamy and cohesive. Set aside.

Assemble the Cheeseburger Pockets

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Open the package of refrigerated biscuit dough and flatten each biscuit into a small circle using your fingers or a rolling pin.
Place a heaping spoonful of the cheeseburger filling in the center of each dough circle. Be sure not to overfill to prevent spilling.
Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape, then pinch the edges tightly to seal the pockets.
Place the pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.

Bake & Serve

Brush the tops of the pockets with a little olive oil to help them brown and become crispy while baking.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pockets are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Customize & Enjoy

Serve your cheeseburger pockets as-is, or add your favorite burger toppings like pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, or a dollop of ketchup and mustard.
Enjoy them warm as a delicious family meal or snack!

Tips & Variations

Make It Veggie: Substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or a vegetarian protein for a lighter version.
Add Extra Cheese: Feel free to add extra cheese inside or on top for an extra cheesy indulgence.
Freezer-Friendly: You can freeze the assembled, uncooked cheeseburger pockets and bake them later when you need a quick meal. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if cooking from frozen.
Spicy Kick: Add a few slices of jalapeños inside for a spicy twist, or drizzle some sriracha sauce on top before serving.
