          Step 5: Place a spoonful of cooked beef in the center of each dough piece, then add shredded cheddar cheese on top.
            Step 6: Fold the dough around the filling and pinch tightly to seal, forming a ball.
              Step 7: Place the sealed dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
