Ingredients
  

For the Filling

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For sautéing
  • 1 small onion, diced For sweetness
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced For flavor
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Can use other cheese varieties
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)

Optional Toppings

  • pickles
  • lettuce
  • tomatoes
  • special sauce

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  • Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with your spatula. Cook until the meat is brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts and everything is well combined.
  • On a floured surface, roll out one pie crust. Cut it into four equal squares.

Assembly

  • Place a generous spoonful of the cheeseburger mixture onto one half of each square, leaving enough space to fold.
  • Fold the other half over the filling, creating a pocket. Press the edges with a fork to seal.
  • Repeat with the second pie crust and remaining filling.
  • Place the hot pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Cooking

  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
  • Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Hot pockets can be stored for up to three days in an airtight container in the refrigerator; reheating in the oven is recommended for best results.
