📋 Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 🥩 1 lb ground beef
- 🥓 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 🧀 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 🧅 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 🧂 1 tsp salt
- 🧂 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 🍅 1 tbsp ketchup
- 🥫 1 tbsp mustard
For the Dough:
- 🍞 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
For Topping:
- 🥚 1 large egg, beaten
- 🌿 Sesame seeds (optional)
📝 Directions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
- Add Ingredients: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the crumbled bacon, salt, black pepper, ketchup, and mustard. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Prepare the Dough: Separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle.
- Fill the Biscuits: Place a spoonful of the beef mixture and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit. Carefully fold the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pinching the seams to seal.
- Top and Bake: Place the filled biscuits seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- Serve: Allow the bacon cheeseburger bombs to cool slightly before serving. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing.
