2 tbsps

Tomato Paste

Directions:

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

2

Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat

Add the onions and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes

4

Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds

5

Add the ground beef, seasoning mix, salt and pepper, and cook, stirring and breaking up any clumps, until brown, 3 to 5 minutes

6

Add the ketchup, tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce and cook, stirring, 1 minute

7

Add 3/4 cup water and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the water has evaporated, about 4 minutes

8

9

Transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature

10

Unroll the tubes of crescent dough but do not separate along the perforations

11

Pinch the seams of two of the triangles together to make a rectangle and then cut that rectangle off from the rest of the roll at the seam

12

Repeat with the remaining dough

13

Lay the rectangles of dough out on a work surface and cut each in half to make 2 squares

14

You will have 16 squares

15

Put 1 rounded tablespoon of the sloppy joe filling in the center of each

16

Mound a rounded 1/2 teaspoon of Cheddar on top of the beef (there will be cheese leftover)

17

Gather the edges of the dough up over the filing to make a little pouch and pinch to seal each edge

18

Arrange the pouches on a parchment-line baking sheet and mound a little cheese on top of each

19

Bake the pouches until the dough is golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes

20
