CHEESEBURGER WELLINGTON

Category: Ground

1 lb lean ground beef
1 portion puff pastry (9 oz), thawed to room temperature
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 dill pickle, sliced thin
1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing
Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400. Put some flour on a clean work surface and on a rolling pin. Divide the pastry dough into 4 equal parts and roll out six-inch circles. Put 1 tbsp cheese, a few pickles slices, and 1 tbsp dressing in center of each circle. Set aside.

Divide the beef into four patties, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and sear in a hot skillet for 2 minutes per side to seal juices in. Lay each patty on top of condiments on pastry, and fold up ends to the top, sealing with your fingers.

Turn over, and place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Pierce a few slits in each pastry, and bake for 20 minutes, or until each Wellington is golden on top and the pastry is cooked through. Let sit for a few minutes before serving. Serves 4.
