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.
