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
    XKick-up the flavor

    With Johnsonville Italian Sausage.

    Featured Sponsor
  • 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 about 1/4 cup of 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.

Very good. Easy to make and had a good taste. I only used one biscuit for each pocket, which made more and they are good reheated. This is a keeper!!!

My 3 teens loved them, I used about a pound and a quarter of burger and 2 tubes of the dough. Omitted onions.My kids want to deep fry them next time, so we may try that!

I made them with ground beef and sauteed onions. Delicious! I love that you could stuff the pockets with whatever ingredients you wanted to.

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.
