Homemade Cheeseburger Hotpockets

So...new year, new ideas

I'm going to try and post all the recipes as I do them (most of the time I'll add things that sound good at the time but forget when I try to tell someone about it.) Starting with dinner from last night...

Introducing: Homemade Cheeseburger Hotpockets

And they taste better than they look...but they do look good :)

Things you need:

2 cans of crescent rolls

1 lb of hamburger meat

1 bag shredded Velveeta cheese

1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch powder

1 T (tablespoon) worcestershire sauce

(I also used some salt and pepper and season-all to taste but they didn't need much)

1. Turn on oven to 375 degrees.

2. Brown your hamburger meat with the packet of Hidden Valley and the worcestershire sauce.

3. Drain the meat (no one likes soggy and greasy hot pockets)

4. Take one roll (uncooked) and press it out thinly and make it look bigger. It may stick to the surface so peel it up and then lay it back down

5. add some ground beef (i added enough so it came out the sides a little) and the velveeta cheese

6. Rolling them is the hardest part...easiest way i learned was peel the roll up from the big side and roll it towards the smaller end but tuck it under some of the filling. 

7. Continue to roll the pocket until its all rolled up

8. Lay them on a pan/ casserole dish and top with cheese. 

9. Cook until rolls are brown (took mine about 8-9 minutes but my oven may be different from your so just watch them)

Easy, not very healthy but I do have some alternatives:

1. Use ground turkey (I love it, Nathan hates it but he probably wouldn't know a difference in this recipe)

2. no salt/ season all

3. instead of cheese, add veggies like tomatoes or avocados (or even an egg for extra protein)

    they also have vegan friendly (soy cheese) in the natural section of the grocery store

4. instead of the rolls, use bell peppers and grill them :)

     I'll be making the peppers version during the spring when it's warm enough for me to stand outside and cook lol.
