Tips

Make the Cheeseburger Crescent Ring meatier by adding pepperoni, ham, cooked bacon, or Italian sausage. You can also use ground chicken or turkey instead of ground beef.

Use any of your favorite cheeses: feta cheese, goat’s cheese, cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, or gruyere.

If you can’t find puff pastry in store, you can make your own, or use crescent roll dough. A shortcrust pastry will also work but will turn out more crumbly.

Serve the Cheeseburger Crescent Ring with ketchup, mustard, or make your own burger dipping sauce. Simply whisk together 1 cup mayo, ½ cup ketchup, ¼ cup yellow mustard, 1 tsp onion flakes, ½ tsp granulated garlic, a splash of vinegar, and hot sauce to taste. Or you can simply mix ½ cup mayo with ¼ cup ketchup.

Serve alongside shredded lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and French fries.

Prepare the cheeseburger filling ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator. Assemble, bake, and serve when ready.
