Traeger Beef and Mushroom Biscuit Pockets

Serve up these hearty Beef and Mushroom Biscuit Pockets hand-held biscuit pockets that are stuffed with steak, mushrooms, and cheese, and toss on your Traeger (or in your oven!) for a savory weeknight dinner. This recipe is a perfect way to use up any leftover roast or steak you have on hand. A quick and easy weeknight recipe!

Traeger Beef and Mushroom Biscuit Pockets

If you have leftover steak or even roast, this is a tasty recipe to serve up. Just grab some canned biscuits from the store, and with your leftover steak or roast you can create the perfect beef hand pies that the whole family can enjoy.

You have tender bits of beef in each bite,  mushrooms, with a handful of cheese for added flavor. Serve these up and watch the whole family gobble them up.

Roasts are something our store does a “buy one get one free” sale pretty often. We are always buying roasts when the deal happens, and we stock up and then toss them in the freezer for later.

It is a great way to maximize how much you are spending on your protein. We can stretch one roast to make 2-3 meals, so when you take advantage of a good sale it saves on the budget.

The beef and mushroom pockets remind me a little of a beef wellington, but a whole lot easier to make. The differences are you are using a biscuit instead of a puff pastry, and there are no shallots (or liver) in this recipe, but you could always add them in if you would prefer.

Our whole family loves these, and they are the perfect way to use up leftovers and create an easy weeknight meal for us.

How To Make Beef Biscuit Pockets On The Traeger

This is just the overview so you can see what you’re actually getting into here. When you are cooking, you’ll want to use the full recipe at the bottom of the page.

  1. Preheat the Grill or Oven – Set to 375°F.
  2. Cook the Mushrooms – Melt butter in a pan over medium heat, then sauté mushrooms for 7-8 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Filling – Add the beef, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and more butter if needed. Cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
  4. Assemble the Pockets – Flatten each biscuit to almost twice its size. For large pockets, use two biscuits; for smaller ones, fold a single biscuit over the filling. Divide the beef mixture among them and top with Swiss cheese.
  5. Bake – Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with melted butter, and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Tips For Making Traeger Hand Pies

  • Shape the biscuits – Because you are using canned biscuits, they will be pretty compact. Make sure to stretch out or roll the dough slightly, so you have a more significant area to work with. Try to keep all the biscuits the same size so they will cook evenly on the grill.
  • Don’t overfill – Filling the biscuits is something you need to watch. Don’t overfill with the meat mixture or you will find it to be hard to seal up your biscuits. You will fill only one side and then fold the other portion of the biscuit over the top, and then press and seal the edges. If you have too much meat mixture, you will struggle to get your pockets to seal.
  • Watch closely – Lastly, watch as you grill your beef biscuit pockets. You don’t want the biscuits to overcook, or it will end up dry.

These sound delicious, and I can’t wait to try them! Any insight if these would be something that could be made ahead of time and then froze (or not) and reheated? Thinking this could be a great meal for camping. :)

I have not tried that, but I think it could work out really well. I'd pre-cook, freeze, and then just reheat on the trip. It can thaw in the icebox for a day and then heat it back up in a foil packet maybe? Or if you wanted to get really fancy, in a baggie submerged in warm water, sous vide style, and then a quick turn over the first to crisp up the bread. :D
