Cheeseburger-Stuffed Pastries
Cheeseburger-stuffed pastries turn a familiar favorite into something extra special by wrapping all that classic flavor inside a crisp, buttery crust. Savory ground beef, gooey melted cheese, and optional vegetables are sealed in flaky pastry, making these perfect for appetizers, snacks, or even a casual dinner.
Ingredients & Helpful Notes
- Ground beef: Choose beef with some fat so the filling stays juicy. Cook fully and season well.
- Cheese: Cheddar is traditional, but mozzarella, American, or cheese blends work just as well.
- Onions & optional vegetables: Dice onions finely and sauté any vegetables beforehand to prevent excess moisture.
- Seasonings: Salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika form the base. Add mustard or ketchup if you want a classic cheeseburger flavor.
- Pastry dough: Puff pastry creates a light, flaky shell; crescent dough gives a softer bite. Homemade dough is also an option.
