Cheeseburger Pockets

Ingredients

• 500 g Ground beef
• 1 Onion (small, finely diced)
• 2 EL Ketchup
• 1 EL Mustard
• 1 EL Worcestershire sauce
• 150 g Grated Cheddar cheese
• 1.5 Pck. Dough (e.g. fresh pizza dough or sheets of puff pastry or crescent roll dough; the source specifies 1–2 packages)
• Salt and black pepper (to taste)
• Melted butter or beaten egg (for brushing; amount as needed)
• Fresh parsley (for garnish, if desired)

Steps

1. 1

   Brown the ground beef and finely diced onion together in a skillet until the meat is fully cooked. Drain off any excess fat.

2. 2

   Stir the ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce into the ground beef and onion mixture.

3. 3

   Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, then let it cool briefly.

4. 4

   Roll out the dough and cut it into equal-sized rectangles or squares.

5. 5

   Place some of the ground beef mixture and a generous portion of grated Cheddar in the center of each piece of dough.

6. 6

   Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges firmly together, for example with a fork, to create a sealed pocket.

7. 7

   Place the filled pockets seam-side down on a baking sheet.

8. 8

   Brush the tops with melted butter or beaten egg so they become golden brown and glossy during baking.

9. 9

   Bake the pockets in a preheated oven at approximately 190–200 °C for 12–15 minutes, until the dough is fully baked and the cheese inside has melted.

10. 10

    Before serving, sprinkle with a little fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

The source specifies 1–2 packages of dough and either melted butter or a beaten egg for brushing, without giving exact amounts. It does not provide further details about the type of baking pan or precise baking sheet preparation.
