Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef prefer 85–90% lean
  • 6 oz bacon, chopped
  • 0.5 cup finely diced onion
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.75 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for the skillet, if needed
  • 16 oz refrigerated biscuit dough or pizza dough
  • 6 oz cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 0.25 cup chopped dill pickles optional
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp milk for brushing
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds optional topping

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment and set aside.
  • Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to a plate; drain most of the fat.
  • Sauté onion in 1 tsp bacon drippings or olive oil until soft, about 3 minutes.
  • Brown the ground beef with the onions, breaking it up finely. Drain excess grease.
  • Stir in ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Fold in bacon and pickles. Cool 5 minutes.
  • Divide dough into 12 pieces. Flatten each into a 3-inch round.
  • Spoon some beef mixture into the center and add a cheese cube. Wrap dough around and pinch to seal.
  • Arrange seam-side down on the pan. Brush with melted butter mixed with milk; sprinkle sesame seeds if using.
  • Bake 14–18 minutes until deeply golden. Rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Variation: Add a slice of jalapeño under the cheese for heat, or brush with garlic butter after baking. Storage: Refrigerate up to 3 days and reheat at 325°F for 8–10 minutes, or freeze up to 2 months and warm from frozen at 350°F for 15–20 minutes.
