Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

For Assembly:

  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Sesame seeds (optional – for that classic burger touch)

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to keep the bombs from sticking.

2️⃣ Make the Cheeseburger Filling

  • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onions are soft.
  • Drain any excess fat.
  • Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Let the mixture simmer for another 2–3 minutes to meld the flavors.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before assembling.

3️⃣ Assemble the Bombs

  • Separate each biscuit from the can and flatten into a circle about 4–5 inches wide.
  • Place a spoonful of the beef mixture into the center of each round.
  • Top with crumbled bacon and a pinch of shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Fold the dough over the filling, pinch tightly to seal, and roll into a ball.
  • Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

4️⃣ Add the Final Touches

  • Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give a golden finish.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired—for extra burger vibes!

5️⃣ Bake to Perfection

  • Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is puffed and golden brown.
  • Let cool slightly, then serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces!

Serving Suggestions

  • Dips to try: ketchup, mustard, ranch, BBQ sauce, or a spicy aioli
  • Pair with: a crisp green salad, fries, or coleslaw for a fun meal
  • Make it a meal: serve alongside sweet potato wedges and pickle spears

Pro Tips & Variations

  • Add a dash of mustard or ketchup into the beef mixture before stuffing for that classic burger taste.
  • Use pepper jack or mozzarella instead of cheddar for a cheesy twist.
  • Want to go deluxe? Add a small slice of pickle or a sliver of tomato inside each bomb before sealing.
  • These freeze well! Just bake, cool, and store in the freezer. Reheat at 350°F until warmed through.
