Ingredients

1 pound ground beef

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 can refrigerated biscuit dough

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the meat is fully browned and the onion becomes tender. Drain any excess grease.

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.

Separate the biscuit dough and cut each biscuit in half. Gently flatten each piece to create a small round.

Spoon a portion of the beef mixture onto the center of each dough round and top with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.

Fold the dough over the filling and firmly pinch the edges together to seal.

Place the filled biscuit pockets seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
