These bite-sized treats are perfect for parties, game-day snacks, or a fun family dinner. Each bomb is a compact, delicious explosion of

 beef, cheese, and bacon wrapped in a flaky dough that is guaranteed to satisfy your burger cravings in a unique and delicious way.

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

For the Dough:

  • 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough (16 biscuits total)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

For the Dipping Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the Filling:

  1. Cook the Beef:
    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook the beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until it is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add Worcestershire Sauce:
    Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, mixing well to ensure the beef is evenly coated. This adds a depth of flavor that enhances the savory taste of the
  •  meat.
  • Combine with Cheese and Bacon:
    Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the
  1.  beef to cool slightly. In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. Mix until well combined. This ensures that every bite of the filling is packed with cheesy, bacon goodness.

Assemble the Bombs:

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Open the cans of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits.
  2. Flatten the Dough:
    On a lightly floured surface, flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin. This will provide enough space to hold the generous filling.
  3. Add the Filling:
    Place a heaping tablespoon of the beef mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit. Be sure not to overfill, as this will make sealing the bombs difficult.
  4. Seal the Bombs:
    Carefully gather the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pinching tightly to seal. Roll the sealed dough gently in your hands to form a smooth ball. Place each sealed bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Egg Wash and Garnish:
    Brush the tops of each bomb with the beaten egg. This will give them a beautiful golden color when baked. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds for a classic
  1.  burger look.

Bake the Bombs:

  1. Bake:
    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and cooked through. The dough should be puffed and the tops should be a deep golden color.
  2. Cool Slightly:
    Remove from the oven and allow the bombs to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving. This helps them set and makes them easier to handle.

Prepare the Dipping Sauce:

  1. Mix Ingredients:
    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle relish, mustard, and hot sauce (if using). Stir until well mixed.
  2. Serve:
    Transfer the dipping sauce to a serving dish.
