Ingredients
- ½ pound lean ground beef
- kosher salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 3 tablespoons house sauce plus more for drizzling
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed if frozen
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese freshly grated
- 1 large egg egg
- 1 teaspoon water beaten together for egg wash
- 1 to 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- shredded lettuce for topping
- chopped tomatoes for topping
- chopped pickles for topping
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon BBQ sauce your favorite
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Season all over with kosher salt and pepper. Brown the beef, breaking it apart into small crumbles. Stir in the ketchup and yellow mustard until combined. Turn off the heat and add in a sprinkle of cheese - just an ounce or two.
- Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- Lay the sheet of puff pastry on the parchment. Poke it all over with a fork - this helps it to stop bubbling up.
- Spread the 3 tablespoons of the house sauce on the puff pastry, leaving a border for the crust. Sprinkle on a little bit of cheese. Evenly layer the ground beef on next. Drizzle with more house sauce.
- Top with the remaining cheese. Brush the outside border with the egg wash. Sprinkle the border with the sesame seeds.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the puff pastry is golden and puffed up. Remove and cover with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes and chopped pickles. Slice and serve!
- Whisk all ingredients together until smooth and combined. You can make this a day or so ahead of time!
