Origin and Cultural Significance
The idea of stuffing sandwich ingredients inside bread or dough dates back centuries (think calzones or meat pies).

Ingredients Quantity
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup dill pickles, chopped (optional)
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 pieces)
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
Optional Additions
- A splash of hot sauce or Sriracha for heat
- Sautéed mushrooms or jalapeños for extra flavor
- Swap cheddar for pepper jack or mozzarella for variety
- Add a thin slice of tomato or a dollop of barbecue sauce inside
- Brushed egg wash instead of butter for a glossy top
Tips for Success
- Seal the edges well: Use your fingers or a fork to crimp the dough so the filling doesn’t leak.
- Cook the beef thoroughly before stuffing to avoid soggy dough and undercooked meat.
- Don’t overfill: It’s tempting, but keep portions modest to allow proper sealing and even cooking.
- Use parchment paper when baking to avoid sticking.
- Let cool slightly before serving — cheese will be molten hot inside!
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook beef and onion in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in crumbled bacon, ketchup, mustard, and pickles (if using). Let the mixture cool slightly.
- Flatten each biscuit dough round into a 4-5 inch circle.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture into the center of each dough circle. Top with shredded cheese.
- Bring the edges of the dough together and pinch to seal. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
