Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures it’s hot enough to bake the pockets to a golden brown.
Cook the Onions and Beef:
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and soft, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a spoon and cook until it’s browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Season the Beef Mixture:
Stir in the ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well to incorporate all the flavors.
Season with salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to cook for a few more minutes to let the flavors meld. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Assemble the Pockets:
Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate it into 8 triangles.
Spoon the beef mixture onto the wide end of each triangle and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal, forming the pockets.
Bake:
Place the pockets on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden and crispy.
Serve:
Allow the cheeseburger pockets to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving to let the filling set, making them easier to handle.
Enjoy these cheeseburger pockets as a snack, part of a meal, or even pack them for a picnic. They are sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike!
