Description

All the flavors of a juicy cheeseburger wrapped in golden dough. Perfect for weeknight dinners, meal prep, or party snacks.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 1 small onion, finely diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons ketchup

  • 1 tablespoon mustard

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1/4 cup chopped pickles (optional)

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough or pizza dough

  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned, then drain excess fat. Add onion, garlic, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir until onions are soft, then remove from heat.

  3. Roll out dough rounds into 5–6 inch circles. Place 2–3 tablespoons of beef filling in the center, sprinkle with cheese, and add pickles if using.

  4. Fold dough over filling into a half-moon shape and seal edges with a fork. Brush tops with beaten egg.

  5. Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Cool filling before assembling to avoid soggy dough. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in oven or air fryer.
