Cheeseburger Pockets Recipe - Recipes Fives

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (lean beef is best, but you can also use turkey or chicken for a lighter version)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (feel free to use a combination of cheddar and mozzarella for extra gooeyness)
• 1/2 cup diced onions (adds flavor and crunch; yellow or white onions work best)
• 1/4 cup diced pickles (for that tangy, burger-like taste)
• 1 tbsp ketchup (a small touch of ketchup brings a classic burger sauce flavor)
• 1 tbsp mustard (adds a bit of tang)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (for extra flavor in the beef mixture)
• 1 sheet refrigerated pizza dough or crescent roll dough (you can also use homemade dough if preferred)
• 1 egg (beaten, for brushing on top of the pockets for a golden finish)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
