Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 8 oz Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 large Egg, beaten
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Season the meat mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine, and remove from heat. Let the filling cool slightly.

Step 5

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Place each triangle on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Place a small spoonful of the meat mixture onto the wider end of each dough triangle. Sprinkle a generous amount of cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese over the meat mixture.

Step 7

Starting at the wide end, carefully fold the dough over the filling and roll it towards the narrow end, tucking the edges slightly to seal.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the foldovers with the beaten egg to create a golden crust. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffed.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the foldovers cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
