Cheeseburger Hot Pockets are a handheld twist on the classic cheeseburger, featuring juicy ground beef, melted cheese, and tangy condiments wrapped in golden, flaky pastry. Perfect for quick dinners, snacks, or meal prep, they bring all the comfort of a burger in a portable form.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or 8 slices American cheese)
  • 2 sheets refrigerated pizza dough or puff pastry
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add onion and garlic; cook until softened and fragrant.
  4. Stir in ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper, then let the mixture cool slightly.
  5. On a floured surface, roll out pizza dough or puff pastry and cut into rectangles or squares.
  6. Place a spoonful of beef mixture on one side of each piece of dough and top with shredded cheese.
  7. Fold dough over the filling, pressing and sealing edges with a fork.
  8. Brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds if desired.
  9. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  10. Let cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • Add cooked bacon for a bacon cheeseburger flavor.
  • Use puff pastry for a flakier crust or pizza dough for a softer bite.
  • Freeze unbaked or baked hot pockets for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep them crispy.
  • Serve with ketchup, ranch, or barbecue sauce for dipping.
