Ingredients Quantities:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 8 oz cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Optional Additions:

  • Pickle slices
  • Barbecue sauce
  • Mustard

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Cook the Ground Beef:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and cooked through, and the onion is soft. Drain any excess fat.
  • Season the beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and remove from heat.

3. Prepare the Biscuits:

  • Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch round.

4. Assemble the Bombs:

  • Place a small spoonful of the cooked ground beef mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit.
  • Top with a cube of cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of crumbled bacon.
  • If using, add a pickle slice, a dab of barbecue sauce, or mustard on top of the cheese.

5. Seal the Bombs:

  • Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the filling, pinching the seams to seal and forming a ball.
  • Place the sealed bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

6. Add Finishing Touches:

  • Brush the tops of the bombs with melted butter.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

7. Bake:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

8. Serve:

  • Allow the bombs to cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm.

Tips for Success:

  • Make sure to seal the biscuit dough well to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
  • You can prepare the ground beef mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to assemble the bombs.
  • For extra flavor, try using different types of cheese or adding your favorite burger toppings inside the bombs.
