Equipment
- Large Skillet
- baking sheet
Ingredients
For the Filling
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
For the Dough
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Optional chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This step is crucial for achieving that perfect golden-brown crust.
- Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.
- Step 3: Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
- Step 4: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until melted and well combined.
- Step 5: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
- Step 6: Place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture at the wide end of each triangle. Roll the dough over the filling, starting from the wide end and tucking the ends as you go to seal in the filling.
- Step 7: Arrange the filled pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Step 9: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired before serving.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them before baking.
