Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 package pizza dough (store-bought is fine)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Preferably freshly grated for better melting.
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated is recommended.
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • to taste Fresh parsley, chopped (optional) For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Brown the ground beef in a pan, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Roll out the pizza dough and cut it into small squares.
  4. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture and a piece of cheddar cheese in the center of each dough square.
  5. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch to seal.
  6. In a bowl, mix melted butter, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder.
  7. Dip the tops of the filled dough balls in the garlic Parmesan butter mixture.
  8. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Optionally, sprinkle fresh parsley on top before serving.

Notes

Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet to avoid soggy bottoms. A quick broil at the end for 30 seconds can add extra color. These can also be frozen before baking; just add extra time if cooking from frozen.
