Makes 12 appetizers

1/2  pound ground beef
1/4  cup taco sauce
2   teaspoons chili powder
1/4  teaspoon onion powder
1/4  teaspoon garlic powder
1  10-ounce package refrigerated pizza dough
1/4  cup shredded American cheese or cheddar cheese
1   egg
1  teaspoon water

1. For filling, cook ground beef in a small skillet until brown. Drain off fat. Stir in taco sauce, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder. Set aside.

2. Unroll pizza dough. Roll dough into a 14x10-1/2-inch rectangle. Cut into twelve 3-1/2-inch squares. Divide filling among dough squares. Sprinkle with cheese. Brush edges with water. Lift one corner of each square and stretch dough to the opposite corner, making a triangle. Press edges well with a fork to seal.

3. Arrange on a greased baking sheet. Prick with fork. Combine egg and the 1 teaspoon water; brush onto turnovers.  Bake in a 425 degree F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden.  Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
