Ingredients
Scale
- 600 g refrigerated biscuit dough, divided into 12 portions
- 350 g ground beef, 80/20 blend for optimal flavor and texture
- 80 g diced onion, for a savory base
- 120 g sharp cheddar cheese, cut into 12 cubes for melting centers
- 6 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
- 60 g finely diced dill pickles, for tangy crunch
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 beaten egg, for brushing the bombs before baking
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for topping
- 1 teaspoon oil, for the baking pan
Instructions
- Cook the Beef and Onions: Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the diced onion. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, for 5 to 7 minutes until it's fully browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Season the Mixture: Stir in the ketchup, mustard, salt, and black pepper into the cooked beef. Mix well to combine, then remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the Bacon and Pickles: Fold in the cooked crumbled bacon and finely diced dill pickles, stirring until evenly distributed throughout the beef filling.
- Flatten the Biscuit Dough: Working with one portion of biscuit dough at a time, gently flatten it in your palm to about 3 inches in diameter. You should have enough dough to create a thin, pliable base.
- Fill the Bomb: Place about 1 tablespoon of the beef filling in the center of the flattened dough, then top it with one cube of cheddar cheese. Carefully bring the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pinching them together at the top to seal it completely so no cheese leaks out during baking.
- Prepare for Baking: Place each sealed biscuit bomb seam-side down on an oil-greased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds for a golden, appealing finish.
- Bake the Bombs: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 to 25 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. The cheese inside should be melted and slightly visible at any seams.
