To make 12 Cheeseburger Empanada Delights, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced tomato
- 1/2 cup diced dill pickles
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup mustard
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 packages refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 egg, beaten

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat and add the onion, tomato, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Next, roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface and cut out 6 circles from each crust. Spoon the cheeseburger mixture onto one half of each circle, leaving a small border around the edge. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the mixture. Fold the other half of the circle over the filling and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
Brush the empanadas with the beaten egg and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
