Ingredients
  

  • Fresh ground beef: 1 pound
  • Crispy bacon: 8 slices
  • Sharp cheddar cheese: 1 cup shredded
  • Jalapeños: 3 finely diced
  • Red onions: ½ cup finely chopped
  • Barbecue sauce: ¼ cup
  • Salt and pepper: to taste
  • Pre-made pastry dough: 1 package

Instructions
 

Cooking The Filling:

  • Begin by cooking the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until it’s browned. Drain the excess fat and add the chopped bacon, cooking until it’s crispy.
  • Add the diced jalapeños and onions, sautéing until they are soft. Stir in the barbecue sauce and season with salt and pepper.

Assembling The Hot Pockets:

  • Roll out the pastry dough and cut it into squares. Spoon the beef mixture onto the center of each square, topping it with a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese.

Final Touches:

  • Fold the dough over the filling to create a pocket and press the edges to seal. Brush the top of each pocket with a bit of beaten egg for a golden finish.

Baking To Perfection:

  • Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
