These Cheeseburger Hot Pockets are a delicious homemade version of the classic snack, filled with seasoned ground beef, melted cheese, and wrapped in a golden crescent dough crust.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 onion, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Optional: pickles, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain excess fat.
  3. Stir in ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Unroll the crescent dough and separate into rectangles by sealing the perforations. You should have 4 rectangles.
  5. Spoon the beef mixture onto one side of each rectangle, then top with shredded cheese.
  6. Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges.
  7. Brush each pocket with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  8. Place the hot pockets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve with pickles if desired.

Notes

  • You can customize the filling by adding diced pickles or swapping cheddar for American cheese.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
  • Double the recipe and freeze before baking for quick meals later.
