Instructions
Making Air Fryer Unsloppy Joes Biscuit Pockets is a fun and simple process. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Cook the Meat: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent. Stir in minced garlic, cooking for an additional 1 minute.
2. Add Ground Meat: Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Create the Filling: Once the meat is cooked, stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning as desired.
4. Prepare Biscuit Dough: Open the can of biscuits and separate them. Roll each biscuit out slightly flat, about ¼ to ½ inch thick.
5. Fill the Biscuit: Place a spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of each rolled-out biscuit, and top with shredded cheese.
6. Fold and Seal: Carefully fold the biscuit over the filling to create a pocket. Press the edges together to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges if desired.
7. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
8. Arrange in Air Fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray. Place the biscuit pockets in the basket in a single layer, making sure to leave space between them for even cooking.
9. Cook the Pockets: Cook in the air fryer for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Check halfway and shake the basket if necessary for even cooking.
10. Serve Warm: Once cooked, carefully remove the pockets from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute before serving.
