Preparation

Step 1

Mix thoroughly the beef, steak sauce, seasoned salt, black pepper and green onions in a medium bowl.   Shape the beef mixture firmly into 12 (2-inch) patties.

Cook the patties in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat to medium doneness, turning them over once halfway through cooking. Remove the patties from the skillet and let cool to room temperature.

Thaw the pastry sheets at room temperature for 40 minutes or until they're easy to handle.  Heat the oven to 350°F.  Lightly grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Unfold 1 pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.  Roll the pastry sheet into a 10-inch square. Cut the pastry sheet into 6 (about 3 x 5-inch) rectangles. Repeat with the remaining pastry sheet.

Place 1 patty into the center of each pastry rectangle and top each with 1 cheese slice. Fold the corners of the pastries up over the filling and twist to seal.  Place the pastries on a baking sheet.  Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastries are golden.

TIP Cook's Note: The assembled burger bundles can be prepared up to 1 day in advance. Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.
