Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon.
  • Add the ground beef and onion, cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon until the beef is cooked through and the onion is translucent, about 7-10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Drain off any excess grease.
  • Off heat, stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, chopped dill pickles, and cooked bacon.
  • While the beef cooks, roll each biscuit out until they are ¼ inch thick. Divide the filling and cheese between the biscuits. Pinch the corners together to form a ball. Place seam side down on the prepared baking dish.
  • Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 20 minutes or until the biscuits are cooked and golden brown. Serve with ketchup and mustard for dipping.

Notes

These cheeseburger bombs are so easy to customize--just add your favorite chopped burger toppings into the mix. We love caramelized onions or raw red onions, fresh tomatoes, avocado, pineapple, coleslaw, or even Buffalo sauce! You can also swap out the ground beef for turkey or chicken for a healthier snack.
