Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough or crescent sheet

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef with garlic powder, salt, and pepper until browned. Drain fat. Stir in chopped bacon. Let cool slightly, then mix in cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
  2. Step 2: Roll out dough into a rectangle. Spread the meat and cheese mixture down the center. Fold the sides over and pinch to seal into a loaf shape.
  3. Step 3: Place the loaf seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic salt, sesame seeds, and chopped parsley.
  4. Step 4: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Step 5: Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with marinara, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
