Cheeseburger Pockets

By ldelmas

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon chopped onion
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tube (12 ounces) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
• 5 slices process American cheese

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion, salt and pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain and cool.
Place two biscuits over-lapping on a floured surface; roll out into a 5-in. oval. Place 3 tablespoons meat mixture on one side. Fold a cheese slice to fit over meat mixture. Fold dough over filling; press edges with a fork to seal. Repeat with remaining biscuits, meat mixture and cheese.
Place on a greased baking sheet. Prick tops with a fork. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 5 servings.

Pricking the tips of Cheeseburger Pockets helps steam escape during baking. If you don't do this, the pockets will puff up and may break open.
