• 1 cup shredded mild cheddar or Pepper Jack cheese

Directions

Mix ground beef, soup mix and pepper together. shape beef mixture into 4 equal patties. ( about 1/8 inch thick.) SLowly cook beef patties till cooked through. Place on paper towel and pat to remove all possible grease. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Pat into circles large enough to fold over all of patties with at least 1 inch to press closed. Sprinkle each dough round with 1/4 of shredded cheese.

Place beef patties on each round and using fingers dip into cold water and moisten outside of beef patty to edge of dough round. Fold over patty and seal edges. Use a fork or finger tips to form tight seal. Place on greased baking sheet and brush with beaten egg. Using sharp knife make two small slits in top of sough to vent steam.

Bake at 375 degrees F till dough is brown and sounds hollow when bottom of each bun is tapped with finger tips. Remove from pan and allow to cool slightly on wire rack. Can slit down one side and add condiments as desired. For smaller children, cut in half, add condiments and wrap in foil on closed end to prevent condiments from leaking and help them keep the bun half together till the last bite.
