👩🍳 How to Make Cheeseburger Hot Pockets
1. Cook the Beef Mixture
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease.
Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until softened—about 4–5 minutes.
2. Season & Sauce It
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes to meld flavors.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Add the Cheese
Once the mixture stops steaming, fold in the shredded cheddar. The residual heat will melt it into a creamy, beefy, cheeseburger-style filling.
4. Prepare the Dough
Roll out your pizza or crescent dough sheets on a lightly floured surface.
Cut into rectangles about 4×6 inches (or whatever size you prefer).
5. Fill & Seal
Add 2–3 tablespoons of the cheeseburger filling to the center of each rectangle.
Fold the dough over and pinch the edges firmly.
For a clean seal, press with a fork around the edges.
6. Brush & Bake
Place pockets on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Brush tops with the beaten egg to achieve that golden crust.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until puffed and deeply golden brown.
7. Cool & Serve
Let them rest 5 minutes before serving—they’re molten hot inside.
Dip in ketchup, mustard, or burger sauce for the full experience!
