Steps
Follow these simple steps to make your very own Sloppy Joe Hot Pockets:
1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
2. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

5. Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
6. Spoon a generous amount of the Sloppy Joe mixture onto each square of puff pastry. Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle shape and seal the edges with a fork.
7. Place the filled hot pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden crust.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the hot pockets are puffed and golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
