Roast Beef Cheddar Pockets

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This makes 4 of the most delicious savory beef pockets you will ever try! I make these with my own bread dough, but crescent rolls work fine for this...you can use leftover roast beef for this also, just make certain the the leftover roast is not too dry, you can soak the beef in beef broth for a while to moisten, drain slightly before shredding the beef, also this can be made with leftover pork roast soaked in juice. Double the recipe to make 8 squares."

 

• Ready In: 38mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Yields: 4 pockets

ingredients

• 1 (16 -17 ounce) package fully-cooked boneless beef roast, with gravy (use the 16-17 ounce package for this, I use the Maple leaf brand fully cooked roast)

• 1⁄2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or to taste)
• sour cream

3. Slice the pot roast into fine shreds.
4. Unroll the crescent roll dough.
5. Separate into 4 rectangles and press the seams to seal.
6. Pull the sides of the rectangles to enlarge slightly.
7. In a large bowl, combine the shredded beef, about 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and finely chopped onion; mix well to combine.
8. Divide the beef mixture into four even scoops.
9. Press the mixture to compact and place lengthwise down the center of each rectangle.
10. Fold the long sides of each rectangle over the filling, then pressing at the top to seal (the pockets should be sealed down the middle and at both top and bottom ends ends.
11. Place the pockets on a baking sheet, and sprinkle the tops with grated cheddar cheese.

I used some leftover roast for this. It was delish! I made recipe #25426 and had frozen some, so used the dough to make these dinner gems! Thanks, Kittencal!

Oh Kitten! You have the best recipes and this was one of them! I used leftover roast form dinner the other night and it turned out perfect. They were also very easy to whip up which is always a plus. Thanks!
