Description

These savory bite-sized cheeseburger bombs are packed with juicy ground beef, crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, and a hint of garlic. Wrapped in buttery biscuit dough and baked to golden perfection, they’re perfect as appetizers, snacks, or party finger food.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices bacon, sliced into ¼-inch thick pieces

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • ½ onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons ketchup (plus more for serving)

  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 dill pickles, finely chopped

  • 16.3 ounces refrigerated biscuit dough (1 (8-count) tube, e.g., Pillsbury Grands Southern Homestyle Butter Tastin’)

  • 1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)

  • Yellow mustard (optional, for dipping)


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Reserve 1 tablespoon bacon fat in the pan.

  • Add chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  • Add minced garlic and cook 1 minute more.

  • Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  • Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, chopped pickles, and cooked bacon pieces. Mix well and remove from heat. Let cool slightly.

  • Separate biscuit dough into 8 large biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle.

  • Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center of each dough circle, then sprinkle about 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese on top.

  • Fold dough over filling and pinch edges to seal completely. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  • Brush the tops of each bomb with melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds if using.

  • Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.

  • Serve warm with ketchup and optional yellow mustard for dipping.

Notes

  • Make sure to seal the dough well to prevent filling from leaking.

  • You can swap cheddar for any favorite cheese like mozzarella or pepper jack.

  • For extra garlic flavor, sprinkle some garlic powder on top before baking.
