Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
- Optional: Pickles for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the beef mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a small circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Place a spoonful of the beef mixture, a few crumbles of bacon, and a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese in the center of each biscuit circle.
- Fold the edges of the biscuit dough around the filling, pinching the edges together to seal the bomb.
- Place the prepared bombs onto the baking sheet, seam-side down. Brush the tops with olive oil for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling inside.
- Let the Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs cool for a few minutes before serving. Optional: Garnish with pickles for an extra touch of flavor!
