Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef, 80/20 blend works best for flavor and texture
- 1 tube (8 count) Pillsbury biscuits, refrigerated, ready to bake
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, sharp or mild, your preference
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Montreal Steak seasoning, or salt and pepper to taste
- Optional ingredients, diced pickles, crumbled bacon, sliced jalapeños, or additional cheese varieties
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and break it apart with a wooden spoon, cooking for 5-7 minutes until no longer pink.
- Add the Onions: Stir in the chopped onion and cook for another 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Season: Add Montreal Steak seasoning (about 1 teaspoon or to taste) and mix well, cooking for 1 minute to allow flavors to meld.
- Drain if Needed: If excess fat has accumulated, drain some off with a paper towel, then remove from heat and let cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
- Preheat Your Oven: Set it to 375°F as directed on the Pillsbury biscuit tube.
- Separate the Biscuits: Pop open the tube and carefully separate each of the 8 biscuits along the perforations.
- Flatten Each Biscuit: Using your fingers or a rolling pin, gently flatten each biscuit into a thin 4-inch circle, just enough to hold the filling without tearing.
- Fill Each Biscuit: Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the cooked beef mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit.
- Add Cheese: Top the beef with roughly 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese per biscuit.
- Wrap and Seal: Fold the edges of the biscuit up and over the filling, pinching the seams gently to seal, creating a pouch shape.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the filled biscuits seam-side down on a greased baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
