Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Cheeseburger Bombs:

8 slices of cooked bacon, chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese cubes)

1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon mustard (yellow or Dijon)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough (8 pieces)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Optional: sesame seeds for topping

Substitutions & Pro Tips:

🧀 Prefer gooey centers? Use cheese cubes instead of shredded cheese.
🥩 Swap ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based beef alternatives.
🧅 Want more kick? Add chopped pickles or jalapeños to the filling.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Brown the beef in a skillet over medium heat (5–7 minutes). Drain any excess fat.
Add diced onions, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 3–4 minutes.
Stir in chopped bacon and remove from heat. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch round. Add a spoonful of the beef mixture and a sprinkle (or cube) of cheese in the center.
Pinch and seal the dough around the filling to form a ball.
Place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool slightly and serve with dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or BBQ!
