Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic , minced
- 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
- 2 Tbs. packed brown sugar
- 2 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp. kosher salt
- 1/8 tsp. pepper
- 1 tube (16.3 ounces) refrigerated Grands biscuits
- 1 Tbs. butter , melted
- ½ tsp. sesame seeds , optional
Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook ground beef, onion, garlic, kosher salt and pepper until beef is browned, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in tomato sauce, brown sugar and Worcestershire and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and let mixture cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. I recommend transferring mixture to a bowl to cool faster than keeping it in the skillet.
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- On lightly floured surface, roll each biscuit dough into a 5 1/2″ diameter circle.
- Arrange filling (about a heaping ¼ cup per pocket) in lower center of each dough circle to within 1-inch of edge.
- Fold dough over filling to make a pocket and seal edges with fork.
- Arrange pockets a baking sheet. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
- Bake 15-18 minutes or until golden and baked through.
