Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 cup diced onion
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add your ground beef and diced onion. Season with salt and pepper and sauté until the beef is thoroughly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in your shredded cheese until melted.
- Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and create a rectangular shape by pinching the seams together.
- Fill the Dough: Spoon the beef and cheese mixture onto the middle of the dough.
- Fold and Seal: Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create a sealed pocket.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Let cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares.
Notes
Serve with a fresh salad or crunchy veggie sticks. Consider a dipping sauce like ranch or garlic sauce.
