Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheeseburger Pockets
  1. In a large skillet, heat over medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned, breaking apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat, then mix in onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the crescent roll dough and slice into 4x4 inch squares.
  3. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheesy beef mixture into the center of each square of dough. Fold over to create a triangle, sealing edges tightly.
  4. Arrange the pockets on the baking sheet with space in between. Bake for 22-25 minutes, until golden brown.
  5. Let cool for about 5 minutes on a wire rack before serving with dipping sauces.
