Ingredients (Makes 12 bombs)
- 1 lb ground beef
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 (16 oz) can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 count)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
For Serving:
- Ketchup, mustard, or burger sauce
- Pickles, lettuce, or diced tomatoes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the Filling:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, onion, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until beef is browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in crumbled bacon and cheese. Let cool slightly.
- Assemble the Bombs:
- Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle. Spoon 2 tbsp of the beef mixture into the center.
- Gather the edges of the dough and pinch to seal, forming a ball. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Bake:
- Whisk the egg with 1 tbsp water and brush over the tops of the bombs. Sprinkle with sesame seeds (if using).
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve:
- Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or burger sauce for dipping.
Tips for Success
- Seal Tightly: Ensure the dough is fully sealed to prevent cheese leaks.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the filling and stuff the bombs ahead of time. Refrigerate and bake just before serving.
- Spice It Up: Add jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling for extra heat.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with french fries or a side salad for a complete meal.
- Serve as an appetizer with a variety of dipping sauces.
