Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 sheet (about 1 pound) puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess fat.
Stir in ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened. Let cool slightly.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry sheet into a 12x12 inch square. Cut into 4 equal squares.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of the Sloppy Joe mixture onto the center of each pastry square. Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, pressing edges to seal. Crimp with a fork.
Place hot pockets on prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg. Cut a small slit in the top of each for steam to escape.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips
For a crispier crust, brush with egg wash twice.
Leftover hot pockets can be reheated in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
