Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
  • Add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  • Stir in Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute.
  • Remove from heat and stir in ketchup, mustard, and pickle relish. Let it cool slightly.
  • Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts into the warm beef mixture.

2. Make the Dough (Skip if Using Pre-Made Dough):

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the cold cubed butter and use your fingers to rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually pour in the milk and mix until a dough forms. Transfer to a floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thick. Cut into 8-10 squares or circles, depending on how large you want the pockets.

3. Assemble the Pockets:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Place a spoonful of the beef mixture onto one half of each dough square. Add half a slice of American cheese on top of the filling.
  • Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges with a fork to seal tightly.
  • Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds for that burger-like finish.

4. Bake:

  • Arrange the pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
  • Let them cool slightly before serving – the cheese inside will be hot!

Dipping Sauces:

  • Classic: Ketchup and mustard.
  • Fancy: Garlic aioli or chipotle mayo.
  • Spicy: Buffalo sauce or sriracha.
