How to make Cheeseburger Hand Pies
You can jump to the recipe card for full ingredients & instructions!
- Brown the beef in a skillet and set to one side.
- Cook the onion in the same skillet, add in the ground beef and seasonings and stir together.
- Place the beef mixture onto the individual pieces of crescent dough.
- Place on the toppings and cheese.
- Fold up the crescent dough and seal.
- Bake!
Can you make them ahead of time?
These cheeseburger hand pies are best served straight out of the oven. You can make the beef mixture up to 4 days a head of time and keep it covered in the fridge.
You can also fill and seal the crescent rolls earlier in the day and keep them covered in the fridge.
What’s the best beef to use?
I like to use ground chuck for these burgers, it’s the most flavorful ground beef as it contains the most fat. They will still work well with lean if you prefer.
You can easily make these with other ground meats like chicken, turkey and pork too.
What do you serve them with?
These beef hand pies are so perfect by themselves, served with your favorite dips like BBQ sauce and ketchup. They are great to serve as a larger meal with shoestring fries and your other favorite burger sides.
Tips!
- Get creative with your toppings! Ketchup, mustard and pickle relish work so well, but you can easily add your favorites. They are great with BBQ sauce and smoked cheese!
- Let the pies cool for a few minutes before serving as they will be molten lava hot in the middle!
My only regret about making these cheeseburger hand pies is that I didn’t make enough! They are a great variation on your everyday burger, and I promise you everyone will love them!

Cheeseburger Hand Pies Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground chuck
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ½ sweet yellow onion diced
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 slices American sliced cheese or your favorite cheese
- 16.3 ounces Pillsbury Original Crescent Rounds
- Ketchup
- Yellow mustard
- Dill pickle relish optional
- 4 tablespoons salted butter melted
- Flake sea salt freshly ground black pepper, smoked paprika and dried parsley
Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat to 375°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
- Brown the ground chuck in a large skillet set over medium heat. Drain the beef on a paper towel-lined plate.
- In the same skillet, cook the onion until softened and translucent. Add the browned beef, salt, pepper and onion & garlic powders. Stir well and cook 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Separate the Crescent Rounds into individual pieces and, on a lightly floured work surface, roll each into a 6-inch round.
- Take one of the rounds and place ¼ cup beef mixture in the middle of the dough, leaving about ½-inch border all around. Drizzle the beef with ketchup, mustard and pickle relish (if using). Top with ½ slice of American cheese.
- Bring the sides of the dough up (from the base) in thirds and pinch the dough together at the top center. The burger hand pie will be slightly shaped like a triangle. Place the hand pie on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all hand pies are done.
- Brush the hand pies with melted butter and sprinkle with flake sea salt, black pepper, paprika and dried parsley.
- Bake at 375°F for 20-30 minutes or until Cheeseburger Pies are golden brown.
- Cool 5 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!
