Delicious Inside Out Cheeseburger Pockets Recipe
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons diced onions
2 tablespoons diced pickles
1 package (14 oz) refrigerated pie crust
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Sesame seeds for topping (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Cook the beef mixture in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheese, diced onions, and pickles. Let the mixture cool slightly.
5. Unroll the pie crusts and cut each into 4 equal quarters, creating 8 pieces total.
6. Place about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture in the center of each pie crust quarter.
7. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal and create a half-moon shape.
8. Place the pockets on the prepared baking sheet and brush with beaten egg. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
10. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes:
- Customize with your favorite burger toppings like bacon, mushrooms, or jalapeños
- For a healthier version, use ground turkey and whole wheat pie crust
- Freeze unbaked pockets for up to 3 months; bake from frozen, adding 5-10 minutes to the cooking time
