Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can (8 ounce) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
1. 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. 2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions become translucent and fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the ground beef, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 5 to 7 minutes.
3. 3. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese while the mixture is still hot.
4. 4. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Lay them out with the wider end facing you.
5. 5. Take a generous spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture and place it at the wide end of each triangle. Fold the narrow tip over the filling and fold the sides in to form a pocket. Pinch the edges firmly to seal.
6. 6. Brush the tops of the pockets with the beaten egg. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and flaky.
Notes
These pockets can be served alongside a fresh salad, crispy potato wedges, or with your favorite dipping sauces such as ranch dressing or salsa. They store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
