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.

Excellent... This is what we had for dinner. Except that I made them using the large biscuits and made some of them using swiss cheese, sautéed mushrooms and burger and some where burger, pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and pizza sauce? 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.

I've also played around with the fillings. Ground ham and cheese is good, as well as broccoli and cheese, chicken, mayo, and Swiss, leftover sloppy Joe filling, leftover taco filling, etc. However, the original filling is the one we use the most.

These are amazing! I have taken the basic recipe and used it with other fillings and they are just as good. My family's favorite is BBQ Pork.
