Ingredients You Will Need
Ground beef 500 grams
Onion finely chopped 1 medium
Garlic finely chopped 2 cloves
Salt 1 teaspoon
Black pepper half teaspoon
Cooked bacon chopped 4 strips
Cheddar cheese shredded 2 cups
Cream cheese 100 grams
Ready made pastry dough 2 sheets
Egg beaten 1 large
Butter melted 2 tablespoons
Optional ketchup or mustard for serving half cup
Step by Step Method
Start by preparing the filling. Place a large pan on medium heat and add the ground beef. Break the meat apart using a wooden spoon. Cook it slowly until it turns brown and no pink color remains. Stir often so it cooks evenly. Once the meat is cooked drain any extra fat if needed. This step helps keep the pastries from becoming greasy.
Add the chopped onion to the cooked meat. Stir well and let it cook for a few minutes until the onion becomes soft and clear. Then add the chopped garlic. Cook for one more minute while stirring. Garlic cooks quickly so be careful not to burn it. Now add salt and black pepper. Mix everything well so the seasoning spreads evenly through the meat.
Next add the chopped cooked bacon to the pan. Stir gently so the bacon mixes with the beef. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Cooling is important because hot filling can melt the pastry dough too early and make it hard to work with.
Once the meat mixture is warm and not hot add the shredded cheddar cheese and cream cheese. Stir until the cheese melts slightly and blends with the meat. The filling should look creamy and thick. Taste the filling and adjust salt if needed. Set the filling aside.
Now prepare the pastry dough. Lay one sheet of dough on a clean surface. Use a knife to cut it into equal squares. The size can be about ten centimeters each. Repeat this with the second sheet. You should have enough squares to use all the filling.
Place a spoonful of the cheeseburger filling in the center of each pastry square. Do not overfill because it will be hard to close. Gently fold the pastry over the filling to form a pocket. Press the edges together using your fingers. You can also use a fork to seal the edges firmly.
Place the stuffed pastries on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Leave some space between each pastry so they can expand while baking. Brush the tops with beaten egg. This helps give a golden shiny finish. Then brush lightly with melted butter for extra flavor.
Preheat the oven to one hundred eighty degrees Celsius. Place the tray in the oven and bake for about twenty to twenty five minutes. The pastries should turn golden brown and puff up nicely. Once done remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with ketchup or mustard on the side if you like. These pastries are best enjoyed fresh but they can also be stored and reheated later.
