Equipment

Ingredients
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard

Instructions
Ground Pork Filling
- Add ground pork to a skillet and season it with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook on med-high heat, breaking up the pork into small pieces and stirring often. When no longer pink, add the yellow mustard and pickles to the pork, and stir to combine. Set aside.
Stuffing Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 350°. Place a Pillsbury Grand Biscuit on a silicone baking mat with measurements or another flat surface, and roll out the biscuit dough to 5" in diameter.
- Place ham on the bottom half of the dough, then top with Swiss cheese, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the pork filling. (there are photos of the steps in post)
- Fold over the top half of the dough with one hand, while securing any filling trying to fall out with your other hand, then crimp the edges closed with a fork. They will be full!
- Repeat this process with all 8 biscuits and place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet with a little space in between each biscuit. (There will be a little leftover pork)
- Bake them for 15-16 minutes until golden. Enjoy!
