Instructions

Arrange frozen dinner rolls on a wax paper lined baking sheet without touching. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let sit for 1 hour or just until thawed but, still cold.
Meanwhile, In a large 12 inch skillet, cook ground beef and onion in a couple of drizzles of olive oil over medium high heat. Cook until no pink remains. Drain excess fat from pan.
To the beef add steak seasoning, salt and worcestershire sauce. Mix well, cook for 1 minute. Taste and adjust seasoning amounts to taste. Remove from heat and cool completely. (This can be done in advance for a timesaver.)

To the cooked ground beef add, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, pickles, ketchup and mustard, Mix until fully combined.
Flatten each dough round into roughly a 2 1/2 -3 inch circle. Place 1 Tbsp filling in the center. Tightly pinch dough up around filling to seal. Place seam side down on a baking sheet 2 inches apart.

Notes

Please note: It's imperative that you use a quality and flavorful seasoning for the beef. A bland end product is the direct result of the kind of seasoning you choose to use. You can always taste, and adjust the amount to your personal preference.
