Preheat the Oven

Start your Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs journey by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This temperature ensures even cooking and that perfect golden-brown exterior we’re after. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking and make cleanup effortless.

Prepare the Filling

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The key to exceptional cheeseburger bombs lies in building layers of flavor from the ground up. Add your finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they become translucent and fragrant – approximately 2-3 minutes. This aromatic base creates depth that elevates the entire dish.

Next, add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook thoroughly until the meat is browned and no longer pink, typically 5-7 minutes. Don’t rush this process; properly browned beef develops complex flavors that make all the difference.

Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. The Worcestershire adds that signature umami depth that makes these bombs irresistible. Finally, fold in the chopped cooked bacon and mix until everything is well combined. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly – this prevents the cheese from melting prematurely during assembly.

Prepare the Dough

On a clean, lightly floured surface, gently flatten each biscuit into a thin round, approximately ¼ inch thick. Be careful not to overwork the dough; gentle handling ensures your bombs remain tender and flaky rather than tough.

Assemble the Bombs

This is where the magic happens! Spoon a generous portion of your beef mixture onto the center of each flattened biscuit – don’t be shy, but leave enough edge to seal properly. Top with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, creating that molten center that makes these bombs so special.

Carefully wrap the dough around the filling, pulling the edges together and pinching firmly to seal. The key is creating a tight seal while maintaining a round shape. Place each completed bomb seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet.

Add Finishing Touches

Brush the top of each bomb with beaten egg – this creates that beautiful, glossy golden finish that makes them look professionally made. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds for added texture and visual appeal.

Bake

Slide your masterpieces into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until they’re gloriously golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F for food safety.

Serve

Allow your Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs to cool slightly before serving – the filling will be molten hot! Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce for the complete experience.
