Cheesy Beef Breadsticks (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Filling

01 - 1 pound of lean ground beef
02 - 1 packet of taco seasoning
03 - 5 cheese sticks (Colby Jack, cut each in half)

→ Dough

04 - 1 tube of Pillsbury refrigerated pizza dough

→ Garlic Butter Topping

05 - 1/4 cup melted butter
06 - 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
07 - 1 teaspoon of dried parsley

# Instructions:

01 - Get your oven ready by setting it to 425°F. Spray a baking sheet with some non-stick spray.
02 - Cook the ground beef in a pan until browned, drain out the extra grease, mix in taco seasoning, and let it cool down.
03 - Slice the pizza dough in half lengthwise first. Then, cut each half into 5 pieces to make a total of 10 rectangles.
04 - Place some of the cooled taco meat and half of a cheese stick right in the middle of each rectangle.
05 - Wrap the dough around the filling. Pinch the edges tight to seal it and shape a breadstick.
06 - Combine melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley. Brush the mixture over the breadsticks.
07 - Pop them into the oven for 10-12 minutes, baking until they turn golden brown. Enjoy them while they’re still warm.

# Notes:

01 - Try serving these with guacamole, salsa, or sour cream to dip.
02 - These are perfect for lunches, dinners, or even a quick snack after school.
03 - Make sure the taco meat is cool before using it—it helps keep the dough from becoming soggy.
