Italian Meatball Stuffed Pouches

Italian Meatball Stuffed Pouches are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that will satisfy your cravings for Italian cuisine. These pouches are made with a combination of ground beef, Italian sausage, and a variety of herbs and spices, all wrapped up in a soft and fluffy dough. The result is a savory and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion.

To make these Italian Meatball Stuffed Pouches, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
- 3/4 cup milk

To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Next, prepare the dough by combining the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the milk and stir until a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each one out into a circle. Spoon a generous amount of the meatball mixture onto one half of each circle, leaving a small border around the edge. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges together to seal.
Place the pouches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the meatballs are cooked through.
These Italian Meatball Stuffed Pouches are a perfect combination of savory meatballs and soft, fluffy dough. The aroma of the herbs and spices will fill your kitchen as they bake, making your mouth water in anticipation. Serve them hot with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, and enjoy the delicious taste of Italy in every bite.
