🥘Ingredients

For the Burger

1 lb ground beef (80/20)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
4 slices cheddar cheese

For the Crescent Roll Crust

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp sesame seeds

Optional Toppings

4 tbsp ketchup
4 tbsp mustard
4 lettuce leaves
4 slices tomato

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

4Mix gently until just combined, then shape into 4 equal patties about 1/2 inch thick.
5Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
6Cook the patties for 3 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked through, as they will finish baking in the oven.
7Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into 4 rectangles along the perforations.
8Press the seams together to form solid rectangles.
9Place one cooked patty in the center of each dough rectangle.
10Top each with a slice of cheddar cheese.
11Fold the dough over the patty and cheese, pinching the edges to seal completely.
12Place the wrapped patties seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
13Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
14Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the crust is deep golden brown and the internal temperature of the burger reaches 160°F.
15Let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
16Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, lettuce, and tomato on the side, or add toppings inside the crescent roll after baking.
