Time 1h35m

Yield 16 pockets

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 pound lean ground beef
2 teaspoons sloppy joe or chili seasoning mix
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Two 8-ounce tubes crescent roll dough, unseparated
About 1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the ground beef, seasoning mix, salt and pepper, and cook, stirring and breaking up any clumps, until brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the ketchup, tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add 3/4 cup water and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the water has evaporated, about 4 minutes. Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
  • Unroll the tubes of crescent dough but do not separate along the perforations. Pinch the seams of two of the triangles together to make a rectangle and then cut that rectangle off from the rest of the roll at the seam. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Lay the rectangles of dough out on a work surface and cut each in half to make 2 squares. You will have 16 squares. Put 1 rounded tablespoon of the sloppy joe filling in the center of each. Mound a rounded 1/2 teaspoon of Cheddar on top of the beef (there will be cheese leftover). Gather the edges of the dough up over the filing to make a little pouch and pinch to seal each edge. Arrange the pouches on a parchment-line baking sheet and mound a little cheese on top of each.
  • Bake the pouches until the dough is golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.

Time 55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound ground beef
¼ cup chopped onion
¼ cup sour cream
½ cup ketchup
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 (12 ounce) can refrigerated flaky biscuit dough
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Cook and stir the ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium heat, breaking the meat up into crumbles as it cooks, until the meat is well browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the fat from the beef in a colander. Return beef to skillet, and stir in sour cream, ketchup, salt, and garlic powder. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat, and simmer while you make the pockets.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Unroll the biscuits on a floured work surface, and lightly roll each biscuit out to a square about 4 inches on a side. Arrange the squares on a baking sheet. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the beef mixture into the center of each square, and fold a corner over to meet its opposite corner, making a triangle. Seal the edges with a fork, and cut three small slits into the top of each pocket.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Brush each pocket with melted butter.
