Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) ground beef (or ground turkey for a leaner option)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup onions, finely chopped
1/2 cup bell peppers, finely chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper
Salt to taste
1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 egg (for egg wash)
Optional: Hot sauce or BBQ sauce for extra flavor

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk

Method
 

Brown the beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the seasoned ground beef until browned and fully cooked (about 8-10 minutes). Drain excess fat.
    Add vegetables: Stir in chopped onions and bell peppers, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until softened.
      Assemble the pockets: On a clean surface, unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the meat mixture onto each piece of dough and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
        Seal the pockets: Fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges together to seal them. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a secure seal.
          Egg wash: Whisk the egg in a small bowl and lightly brush it over each hot pocket. This gives the dough a beautiful golden color when baked.
            Bake: Place the pockets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
              Serve: Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
