- 1 package crescent roll dough (8-count)
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step-by-step Directions
1. Prep the Oven and Baking Sheet
Start by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Cook the Ground Beef
Place ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until browned, breaking the beef into crumbles with a spoon, and drain any excess fat.
3. Add Flavorings
Mix in the softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is uniformly combined.
4. Prepare the Crescent Rolls
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into triangles on a clean surface. Scoop a spoonful of the beef mixture onto the center of each triangle.
5. Form the Pockets
Fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges to seal and create small pockets.
6. Bake
Place the filled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops with melted butter, and bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
