Ingredients
Scale

- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp butter, melted

Instructions
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat, then stir in ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface. Cut it into small squares, about 2x2 inches.
- Assemble the Bombs: Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each dough square. Top with a small amount of shredded cheese. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal.
- Bake: Place the pretzel bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve: Serve warm with extra mustard or ketchup for dipping.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can assemble the pretzel bombs ahead of time and refrigerate them until ready to bake.
