How to Make Beef Taco Melt Sandwich Pockets

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown 1 lb ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in 1 cup salsa, 1 packet (or 2 tablespoons) taco seasoning, and 1/2 cup water.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened slightly.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  5. On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out each biscuit to a 6-inch circle using a rolling pin.
  6. Divide the beef mixture evenly among the 8 biscuits.
  7. Spoon the beef mixture onto one half of each biscuit, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  8. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture on each biscuit.
  9. Fold the other half of the biscuit over the filling, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
  10. Crimp the edges with a fork to ensure a tight seal.
  11. Place the filled biscuits onto a baking sheet.
  12. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
  13. Serve immediately. Top with sour cream and extra salsa, if desired.
