Here’s a crowd-pleasing, finger-food favorite: Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs! 🍔💣
Golden biscuit dough stuffed with juicy beef, crispy bacon, and melty cheese — perfect for parties, game day, or a fun dinner idea.
🧾 Ingredients
For the filling:
-
1 lb (450g) ground beef
-
6–8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
-
½ cup diced onion (optional)
-
1 tbsp ketchup
-
1 tbsp yellow mustard
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or use small cheese cubes)
For assembly:
-
1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
-
1 large egg (for egg wash, optional)
-
1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional topping)
👩🍳 Instructions
-
Preheat oven:
Set to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. -
Cook the filling:
-
In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Remove and crumble.
-
In the same pan, cook ground beef (and onion if using) until browned.
-
Drain any grease.
-
Stir in ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper, and the crumbled bacon. Mix well.
-
Let the mixture cool slightly.
-
-
Assemble the bombs:
-
Flatten each biscuit into a 4–5 inch circle.
-
Place about 1–2 tablespoons of the meat mixture in the center.
-
Top with a pinch (or cube) of cheese.
-
Fold the edges up and pinch to seal tightly, forming a ball.
-
Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
-
-
Optional:
Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds for a burger-bun look. -
Bake:
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. -
Serve:
Serve warm with dipping sauces — ketchup, mustard, burger sauce, or ranch.
🍔 Tips & Variations
-
Add a pickle slice inside for a tangy surprise.
-
Use Hawaiian roll dough or pizza dough instead of biscuits for a different texture.
-
Make them mini-size with smaller biscuits for party appetizers.
-
Reheat leftovers in an air fryer or oven for best results (avoid microwaving — they’ll get soggy).
Would you like me to include a homemade burger dipping sauce recipe to go with them?
