Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 egg, beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart until browned (7-10 minutes), then drain excess fat.
- Sauté the chopped onions in the same skillet until soft and translucent (about 5 minutes), then mix with beef.
- Mix in shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
- Prepare the pie crusts by rolling them out and cutting circles (about 4-5 inches in diameter).
- Fill each circle with a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture.
- Seal the pockets by brushing edges with beaten egg, folding in half, pressing edges together, and crimping with a fork.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
Notes
These pockets can be frozen before or after baking. To prevent leaking, avoid overfilling and crimp edges tightly.
