Ready in just 30 minutes, they’re the perfect comfort food for busy weeknights or a fun family weekend treat. Every bite delivers a warm, buttery crunch followed by rich, savory cheeseburger goodness that everyone will love.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, finely diced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 (8 oz) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
How to Make Cheeseburger Pockets
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s ready when your pockets are assembled.
Step 2: Cook the Onions and Beef
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes, until soft and fragrant.
Step 3: Brown the Beef
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns. Once cooked through, drain any excess fat.
Step 4: Season the Mixture
Stir in the ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 5: Prepare the Dough
Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate it into 8 individual triangles.
Step 6: Fill and Seal
Spoon a portion of the beef mixture onto the wide end of each triangle, then top with shredded cheddar cheese. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal.
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
Place the filled pockets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8: Cool Slightly and Serve
Let the cheeseburger pockets cool for a few minutes before serving. The filling will set slightly, making them easier to handle — and perfect for dipping!
Serving Suggestions
Serve these warm, flaky pockets with your favorite dipping sauces — think ketchup, spicy mayo, or even ranch. Pair them with crisp fries, onion rings, or a side salad for a complete meal.
For a fun twist, try adding your favorite burger toppings inside the pockets — pickles, bacon bits, or sautéed mushrooms are all delicious additions.
Storage Tips
Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat: Warm in the oven or air fryer for best results — the crust stays flaky and crisp.
Freeze: Assemble ahead and freeze unbaked pockets for up to 2 months; bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
Final Thoughts
With their buttery crust and cheesy, savory filling, Cheeseburger Pockets combine everything you love about classic burgers in a fun, handheld form. Quick, customizable, and utterly satisfying — they’re sure to become a weeknight favorite for the whole family.
