Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup cooked bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 (12-ounce) can refrigerated biscuits (8 biscuits)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Optional: Sesame seeds for topping

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Prepare the Filling

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  • Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
  • Add the chopped cooked bacon and mix until well combined.
  • Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

3. Prepare the Dough

  • On a clean surface, flatten each biscuit into a thin round, approximately ¼ inch thick.

4. Assemble the Bombs

  • Spoon a portion of the beef mixture onto the center of each flattened biscuit.
  • Top with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Wrap the dough around the filling, pulling the edges together and pinching to seal tightly, forming a ball.
  • Place each ball seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

5. Add Finishing Touches

  • Brush the top of each bomb with the beaten egg.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

6. Bake

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

7. Serve

  • Allow the cheeseburger bombs to cool slightly before serving.
  • Enjoy warm, optionally with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Variations and Tips

  • Add Spice: For a spicier version, incorporate diced jalapeños into the beef mixture or use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar.
  • Meat Alternatives: Substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  • Seasonings: Experiment with different seasonings like taco seasoning, smoked paprika, or Italian herbs to change up the flavor.
  • Cheese Choices: Try different cheeses such as mozzarella, Swiss, or a spicy habanero cheese for variety.
  • Serving Suggestions: These bombs are great as appetizers, party snacks, or paired with a side salad for a complete meal.
