Notes
- Ensure the beef is fully cooked before adding the seasoning for best flavor.
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
- Add a spicy kick with chopped jalapeños or hot sauce.
- Make ahead: Prepare the beef mixture and dough separately, then assemble and bake when needed.
- For extra creaminess, mix some cream cheese with the beef before adding the seasoning.
