# What You'll Need:
→ Filling Ingredients
01 -
1 packet of taco seasoning
02 -
1 pound of ground beef
→ Assembly Items
03 -
5 cheese sticks (colby jack and cheddar), halved
04 -
1 roll of Pillsbury pizza dough
→ Topping Mix
05 -
1 teaspoon of dried parsley
06 -
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
07 -
4 tablespoons melted butter
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Crank up your oven to 400°F and prep a baking tray with some parchment paper.
02 -
Cook the ground beef in a pan on medium heat, get rid of the grease, then mix in the taco seasoning following the packet directions.
03 -
Lay the pizza dough flat on a floured counter. Slice it into 10 even rectangles.
04 -
Put a portion of seasoned beef and half a cheese stick on each dough rectangle. Wrap it up tightly, pinching the sides to keep the filling inside.
05 -
Combine the melted butter with parsley and garlic powder, then spread this over your rolled-up sticks.
06 -
Pop them in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until golden. Give them a few minutes to cool since the cheese will be super hot.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Toss in chopped jalapeños or bell peppers with the meat to switch up the flavor.
02 -
Seal the dough edges firmly so the cheese doesn’t escape during baking.
03 -
These go perfectly with dips like salsa or sour cream!
