- 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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
