Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 pound store-bought pizza dough
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 4

Season the beef mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well to combine. Remove from heat and allow the beef to cool slightly.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, approximately 12x16 inches.

Step 6

Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly over one half of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture.

Step 8

Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, aligning the edges. Press the edges together to seal, and crimp with a fork for a decorative finish.

Step 9

Brush the top of the foldover with the beaten egg to create a golden, shiny crust. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top, if desired.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the foldover to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 11

Remove the foldover from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing into portions. Serve warm and enjoy!
