In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until completely cooked and no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat, then stir in cheese and seasonings until cheese melts and combines with beef. Cool slightly.

Roll out your choice of dough onto a clean surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Cut into squares or circles, roughly 4–6 inches in size.

Place a generous spoonful of the beef and cheese filling in the center of each piece of dough. Fold dough over to create a pocket, crimping edges tightly.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the pockets evenly. Bake for 22–25 minutes until golden brown.

Allow pockets to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before serving with your favorite dipping sauces.
