Loaded Taco-Stuffed Cheesy Pockets 😋
Ingredients:
-1 lb ground beef
-1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade taco seasoning)
-1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-2 cans (8 oz each) crescent roll dough
-Toppings for serving: diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream, guacamole
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until fully browned. Drain excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning according to the package instructions. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Prepare the Crescent Rolls: On a lightly floured surface, unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. You’ll have a total of 16 triangles.
Fill the Pockets: Spoon a tablespoon of the taco-seasoned ground beef onto the center of each triangle. Sprinkle a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the beef.
Seal the Pockets: Fold the dough over the filling, forming a pocket. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
Bake: Place the stuffed crescent rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm, topped with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream, and guacamole, or any other toppings of your choice.
