Ingredients

  • 3 Cans of Refrigerated Biscuit Dough
  • 1 Pound Ground Beef
  • 1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • ½ Cup Ketchup
  • ¼ Cup Dill Pickle Relish
  • 2 Tablespoons Yellow Mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Seasoned Salt
  • ¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Brown the ground beef in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When thoroughly cooked, add the ketchup, mustard, relish, brown sugar, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and pepper and mix together. Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the beef mixture and stir until the cheese is fully melted. Set aside.
  • Remove the biscuit dough from the cans and use a rolling pin to flatten each circle. Add 1 tablespoon of the cheeseburger mixture to the center of each dough circle. Carefully fold the dough up over the meat and pinch the top. (Watch the video below to see how to do this). Don’t worry about making them look pretty, just make sure the top is completely closed.
  • Add parchment paper to the bottom of a steamer basket insert for an Instant Pot and place the pods inside.
  • Fill the bottom of your Instant Pot with 1 cup of water and place the steamer basket inside. Put the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the valve is set to seal. Push the Pressure Cook button and the buns for 4 minutes.
  • Allow the steam to release naturally for 10 minutes, then open the valve and remove the lid. Serve your Disney Cheeseburger Pods with your favorite side dish!

Notes

Tips for Making Cheeseburger Pods at Home

  • Use standard refrigerated biscuits, not flaky or Grands.
  • Make sure to put parchment paper under the pods in the steamer basket or the dough will stick to the basket.
  • These homemade pods are smaller than the pods at Disney World.
