Ingredients:
450 g ground beef
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Garlic powder to taste
Onion powder to taste
15 ml Worcestershire sauce
120 g shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
Optional: diced crispy bacon
Optional: chopped pickles
Optional: caramelized onions
→ Dough Wrapping
1 tube refrigerated biscuit or pizza dough, cut into 8–12 rounds and flattened to 10 cm diameter
→ Garlic Parmesan Topping
28 g unsalted butter, melted
5 g minced garlic or garlic powder
15 g freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until evenly browned and no pink remains. Drain excess fat. Season the cooked beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside to cool completely.
Once the beef mixture is cooled, fold in the shredded cheese and any optional add-ins such as bacon, pickles, or caramelized onions. Mix until the filling is evenly combined.
Flatten each piece of dough into a 10 cm circle. Place 1–2 tablespoons of the cooled beef and cheese mixture in the center of each round. Gather the edges and pinch tightly to seal, forming a ball.
Position the filled dough balls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking tray, spacing evenly. Combine melted butter and minced garlic, then generously brush over the tops. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Preheat oven to 190°C. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until the dough is cooked through and golden brown.
As soon as they are removed from the oven, brush with any remaining garlic butter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm with preferred dipping sauces such as ranch, garlic aioli, or spiced mayonnaise.
