Instructions: Warm the oven up to 190C 375F. Warm up the olive oil in a big pan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook until they get soft. Using a spatula, break up the ground beef as you add it to the pan. Cook until it turns brown.

To make a ball, fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges. Put the pizza balls on a baking sheet that has cooking spray on it. Put garlic powder and onion powder in a small bowl and mix them together. Spread some of the sauce mixture on top of each pizza ball, and then top with mozzarella cheese. After the oven is hot, bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown. Have fun with the Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza Balls while they're still warm.
