- ½ cup cream cheese (softened, for binding)

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, bacon, ground beef, cheddar, cream cheese, pickles, onions, paprika, and Worcestershire.
- Mix until creamy and well combined.
Step 2: Assemble the Pockets
- Roll out biscuit or pizza dough into 6-inch circles.
- Place 2–3 tablespoons of filling in the center.
- Fold dough over into a half-moon shape and crimp edges with a fork to seal.
Step 3: Bake or Fry
To Bake:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brush pockets with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake 15–18 minutes, until golden brown.
To Fry:
- Heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry pockets 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels.
Step 4: Serve
Serve hot with dipping sauces like ketchup, burger sauce, or ranch.
Tips for Success
- Seal tightly: Prevents cheesy filling from leaking out.
- Keep bacon crispy: Cook it separately before mixing into filling.
- Make it spicy: Add jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling.
- Party-ready: Make ahead and refrigerate; bake or fry just before serving.
Variations
- Buffalo Rampage Pockets: Swap Worcestershire for buffalo sauce + blue cheese crumbles.
- Tex-Mex Style: Add taco seasoning, jalapeños, and pepper jack cheese.
- Breakfast Version: Fill with scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, and cheddar.
- Low-Carb Option: Wrap filling in a cheese shell or low-carb tortilla instead of dough.
