Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 small onion, finely diced
Dairy and Cheese:
- 1 cup (113 grams) cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) butter, melted
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 can (16 ounces / 454 grams) refrigerated biscuit dough
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) sesame seeds (optional)
- Pickle slices for serving
- Ketchup for dipping
- Mustard for dipping
Instructions
- Sauté ground beef and diced onions in a skillet over medium-high heat until meat is thoroughly cooked and onions are translucent, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Drain excess fat from the meat mixture, then fold in crispy crumbled bacon and shredded cheese, mixing until evenly distributed.
- Gently stretch each biscuit dough round into a thin circular shape using fingertips, creating enough surface area to hold the filling.
- Place a generous spoonful of the beef-bacon-cheese mixture in the center of each stretched dough round.
- Carefully gather the edges of the dough, pinching and twisting to completely encase the filling, forming a sealed spherical shape.
- Arrange the formed bombs seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- Generously brush the exterior of each bomb with melted butter and optionally sprinkle with sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and position the rack in the middle position.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until the bombs are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving alongside preferred condiments like ketchup or mustard.
Notes
- Drain beef thoroughly to prevent soggy bombs and ensure crispy texture.
- Try different cheese types like sharp cheddar or pepper jack for extra flavor complexity.
- Keep biscuit dough chilled until ready to use, which helps maintain tight seal and prevents filling leakage during baking.
- For gluten-free version, substitute biscuit dough with gluten-free biscuit mix or wrap filling in large lettuce leaves for low-carb option.
