Ingredients for Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs
Before we get into the nitty-gritty of how to make these scrumptious bombs, let’s gather our ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound ground beef (because let’s be honest, what’s a cheeseburger without some beef?)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (the more cheese, the better!)
- 8 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled (because bacon makes everything better)
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits (life is too short to make dough)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (for that extra flavor boost)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: sesame seeds for topping (if you want to get fancy)
Steps to Make These Delicious Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs
Alright, let’s dive in! Here’s how to create your own batch of these Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs without breaking a sweat.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is the ideal temperature for baking those biscuits to perfection.
- Next, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until it’s no longer pink. Make sure to break it up as it cooks. Add in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to season it. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!
- As the beef cooks, crumble those crispy bacon slices. How many times have you wished you could eat bacon all day? Well, this is as close as we’re getting! Mix the crumbled bacon and shredded cheese into the beef once cooked.
- Now for the fun part! Open the can of biscuits and separate them. Flatten each biscuit to form a little cup. You can use your fingers or a rolling pin—no need to overthink it!
- Spoon the beef, bacon, and cheese mixture into the center of each biscuit. Don’t be shy; these are meant to be loaded up!
- Fold the biscuit edges over the filling, pinching it together at the top. Make sure to seal it well; we don’t want any leaks here!
- Place the bombs seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle some sesame seeds on top for extra crunch.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown. The smell wafting through your house will have everyone asking when dinner is served!
Cooking Tips & Tricks
- Make it your own! Feel free to swap out the cheese or add ingredients like jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- If you find that your filling is a little too runny, consider using a slotted spoon to drain some excess liquid.
- Don’t worry if your biscuits look a little lumpy—this is comfort food, not a beauty pageant!
