The other day we were watching Paul Deen’s cooking show  and she was making kid-friendly foods, one of the items she made was a cheeseburger in a pastry puff. James said he wanted to make that for the next dinner, and so I let him.

Taking him to the store I gave him the list of items we needed and he did the shopping:

1 pound hamburger meat (about $3.00)
1 Box of Pastry Puff (about $4.00)
1 Package of Sliced sandwich cheese (about 2.00)

Items we had in our pantry
2 Tbs Ketchup (* Tip try the new lower sugar Ketchup, it is better for you and taste great, if not better)
2 Tbs Dijon Mustard
Salt and Pepper

Once we got home we gathered our items and started by mixing the Hamburger meat with the ketchup, mustard, salt and pepper. We patted out about 12 patties, and cooked them in a frying pan for about a minute on each side.

While James watched over the burgers, I worked with the pastry puff. I floured my counter and rolled the puff about 2 extra inches to the top and the side on the puff. I cut the sheet into 3 pieces (top to bottom) and then cut it in half down the middle.

We added the cooked burgers to the pastry puff and topped the burger with a quarter of the cheese slice, folded the puff around the burger and placed on our cookie sheet lined with Parchment paper. I repeated this for the 12 burgers and then brushed them with 1 egg slightly beaten. Baked in oven for about 30 minutes at 400 degrees.
