Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅓ cup finely minced or grated white onion
- ⅓ cup chopped dill pickles, finely chopped
- ½ pound block of American cheese
- 1 package of 24 frozen dinner rolls
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Thaw the dinner rolls according to package instructions.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion powder, garlic salt, salt, pepper, minced onion, and chopped dill pickles.
- Divide the beef mixture into 24 sections. Slice the cheese into 24 small chunks (about ½ inch square). Form a flat circle with each beef section, place a cheese chunk in the center, and roll the beef around the cheese to form a ball.
- In a large skillet, brown the meatballs on each side briefly (don’t cook through, just sear to seal the cheese inside).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each thawed dough ball into a circle slightly larger than the meatball. Place the meatball in the center of each dough circle, wrap the dough around it, and pinch the bottom to seal.
- Place each stuffed dough ball on the prepared sheet pan. Brush the tops and sides of the bites with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Serve immediately with Big Mac special sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For a more flavorful kick, add a few dashes of hot sauce or a sprinkle of cayenne to the beef mixture.
- These bites are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
