Looking for a quick and satisfying snack or dinner idea? These Meat and Cheese Foldovers are the ultimate comfort food, combining savory, seasoned ground beef, sautéed onions, and garlic with a gooey duo of cheddar and mozzarella cheese, all encased in golden, flaky crescent roll dough. A dash of paprika adds a smoky kick, while an optional sprinkle of sesame seeds offers a delightful crunch. Perfectly portable and ready in just 35 minutes, these foldovers are ideal for busy weeknights, casual gatherings, or even as a game-day treat. Serve them warm for the best cheesy, meaty bite every time!
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
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.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
Season the meat mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine, and remove from heat. Let the filling cool slightly.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Place each triangle on the prepared baking sheet.
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.
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.
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.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let the foldovers cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
