# What You'll Need:
→ Filling
01 -
2.5 ml garlic powder
02 -
15 ml mustard
03 -
Salt and fresh black pepper, use as you like
04 -
120 g cheddar cheese, shredded
05 -
450 g lean ground beef
06 -
60 g yellow or white onion, diced
07 -
15 ml ketchup
08 -
30 g chopped pickles
→ Dough and Finish
09 -
1 egg, lightly beaten
10 -
1 chilled sheet pizza dough or crescent rolls
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Brush the top of each pocket with egg. Place everything on the sheet that's ready. Pop it in the oven and bake twelve to fifteen minutes, until tops look crisp and golden. Let them rest a minute before you grab one.
02 -
Scoop a bit of beef mix onto the dough pieces. Sprinkle on some cheese and, if it sounds good to you, pickles too. Fold up the dough around the filling and use a fork to press the edges together so nothing spills.
03 -
Take your chilled dough and lay it out on a flat surface. Roll it out if it looks a bit thick, shoot for about half a centimeter thick. Cut into squares or circles to make pocket shapes.
04 -
Get your oven warmed to 190°C. Put parchment or a silicone mat on a baking tray to keep things from sticking.
05 -
Start by browning the ground beef in a big pan over medium, breaking it up as you go. When it's cooked, pour off the extra fat. Toss in the diced onion and let that cook a few minutes until it softens up. Sprinkle in garlic powder, pour in ketchup and mustard, then add salt and pepper. Stir it all together for about a minute, then take it off the heat and let it chill a bit.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Let the meat mixture cool down before you start filling, or your dough could turn soggy.
