Ground beef is my favorite meat to cook with because it's so versatile, flavorful and economical. Refrigerated biscuits save you the trouble of making dough from scratch.—Pat Chambless, Crowder, Oklahoma

Cheeseburger Pockets Recipe
  • Prep: 30 min. Bake: 10 min.
  • Yield: 5 Servings
30 10 40

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tube (12 ounces) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
  • 5 slices process American cheese

Directions

  • In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion, salt and pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain and cool.
  • Place two biscuits overlapping on a floured surface; roll out into a 5-in. oval. Place 3 tablespoons meat mixture on one side. Fold a cheese slice to fit over meat mixture. Fold dough over filling; press edges with a fork to seal. Repeat with remaining biscuits, meat mixture and cheese.
  • Place on a greased baking sheet. Prick tops with a fork. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 5 servings.

    Pricking the tips of Cheeseburger Pockets helps steam escape during baking. If you don't do this, the pockets will puff up and may break open.

This is a great way to get my daughter that doesn't like meat to eat a good meal! Its cheesy and the "pocket" makes it fun! Clever idea- I serve this about once a month.

These were great. I used the large biscuits that come eight to a can and they turned out perfect. Next time I am going to put some bacon and barbecue sauce in the hamburger because we all love BBQ bacon cheeseburgers.

My family LOVED this recipe. I made extra meat filling and used it later in the week for taco salads. Great recipe!

My family LOVES these cute little meat pockets and have been making them for years. I too use the large biscuits. I make a very large batch and freeze part of them in zip bags then pull out of the freezer and either microwave wrapped in a paper towel or throw in the toaster overn for quick meals. I've also substituted sausage for the hamburger and then scrambled some eggs and made breakfast pouches. This is a great versatile recipe.

The original filling is great, but can easily be changed to suit your taste. Also, I just roll each biscuit out individually, making the top one slightly larger; add the filling; top with the larger biscut and seal the edge with a fork.

Both were excellent? I decorated them with hearts and happy smiles to let the steam out? and to keep straight which one was which...

I add onion soup mix to the hamburger and brown it up. Next I drain it, mix in a little mayo and shredded cheese.
