Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Add chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the beef, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in cooked bacon and mustard, mixing well to combine.

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface and cut into squares.

Place a spoonful of the beef mixture and a piece of cheddar cheese in the center of each dough square.

Fold the dough over the filling and pinch to seal tightly.

Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Arrange the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

Serve warm with ketchup and additional mustard on the side.
