Step 3: Assemble the Cheeseburger Pockets

1. Place a spoonful of the cooked beef mixture in the center of each dough rectangle.
2. Top with a slice or small handful of cheddar cheese.
3. Fold the dough over the filling to form a pocket and press the edges with a fork to seal.
4. Place the pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden, shiny finish.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown.
2. Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Pro tip: Serve with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor.

Your Cheesy Cheeseburger Pockets are now ready! These pockets are:

• Crispy and golden on the outside
