# What You'll Need:
→ Meats
01 - 1 lb ground beef
→ Cheese
02 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
03 - 8 small cubes mozzarella cheese (about 3/4 inch each)
→ Vegetables
04 - 1 small onion, finely diced
05 - 1 small pickle, finely chopped (optional)
→ Dough
06 - 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough (8 pieces)
→ Spices & Seasonings
07 - 1 tablespoon ketchup
08 - 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
09 - 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
10 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
11 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
12 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
→ For Topping
13 - 1 egg, beaten
14 - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a skillet over medium heat, sauté onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add ground beef, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until beef is browned and crumbly. Drain excess fat.
03 - Stir in ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped pickles. Remove from heat and let mixture cool slightly.
04 - Flatten each biscuit round. Place 1 tablespoon beef mixture and 1/2 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese in the center of each. Top with one mozzarella cheese cube.
05 - Fold dough around filling and pinch the edges to seal tightly, forming a ball. Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
06 - Brush each ball with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
07 - Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
08 - Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with additional burger sauces if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The cheesy center is like a hidden surprise every time you take a bite.
- No flipping patties—just quick assembly and a whole lot less mess (especially handy when the game is on).
02 -
- If you stuff them while the beef is still too hot, the biscuit dough will stretch and tear; let the filling cool a bit.
- Brushing with egg wash right before baking gives you that glossy, bakery-fresh look—if you forget, the sesame seeds won&apost stick as well.
03 -
- Freezing the mozzarella cubes for 10 minutes before wrapping keeps cheese from leaking out badly.
- Pinch any thin spots in the dough extra well—thicker edges = less chance of explosions and more even baking.
