How to Make Copycat Cheeseburger Steamed Pods (Bao Buns)
Begin by browning 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 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.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the valve is set to seal.
Push the Pressure Cook button and cook 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!
