Cook the Filling:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease.

Prepare the Dough:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out crescent roll or biscuit dough on a lightly floured surface. If using biscuits, flatten each into a circle.
Stuff the Pockets:

Fold the dough over the filling and press edges together with a fork to seal.

Place the pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
