Easy Cheesy Cheese Steak Pockets #Recipe

I found a recipe a few months back and after I made it my husband said “those are like a cheesesteak sandwich.” Now I LOVE cheese steak sandwich’s so I altered the recipe and came up with this.  I call them Easy Cheesy Pockets!

So first I cooked up some hamburger meat and added chopped green chilies.  You could cut up a green or red pepper too.

Then I added some sliced mushrooms

Once my meat was cooked and drained I added cream cheese, ground cumin and chili powder.

 

Now for the fun part!  I took some refrigerated crescent rolls and pressed two of them together to make a rectangle.

I like mine really cheesy so I added some cheese wiz to mine (you can add real cheese, too!).  I left my husbands plain because that’s how he prefers them!

Then you add a spoonful of the cooked meat mixture.

Fold in half and seal the edges by just pinching it together.

Bake them at 375 degrees for 11-14 minutes.

Then enjoy!

Here is the full recipe and directions

1 pound ground beef
