1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper. Once cooked through, drain the grease and let it cool slightly.

2. Stir in the cheddar cheese until evenly combined with the beef.

3. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and flatten each piece into a 3–4 inch round.

4. Spoon about 1½ tablespoons of the beef and cheese mixture into the center of each dough round.

5. Fold the edges over and pinch tightly to seal, forming a smooth ball. Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

6. Melt the butter and mix in the garlic and parsley. Brush each dough ball generously with the garlic butter.

7. Sprinkle the tops with grated parmesan cheese.

8. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18–22 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.

9. Once out of the oven, brush with more garlic butter and garnish with extra parsley or parmesan if desired.

10. Let cool for 2 minutes before serving.
