Instructions

Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and finely diced onion, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then add the crumbled cooked bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir everything together and set aside to cool slightly before assembling.
Assemble the Bombs: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Separate the biscuit dough into individual rounds and gently flatten each biscuit with your hands to form a small disc. Spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture into the center of each biscuit round. Carefully fold the dough around the filling, pinching the edges tightly to seal and shape each into a small ball.
Bake the Bombs: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place each sealed biscuit bomb seam-side down on the sheet. Using a pastry brush, gently coat the tops of the bombs with the melted butter. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired to add color and texture.
Cook Until Golden: Bake the biscuit bombs in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and the biscuit dough is fully cooked through. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve: Serve the bacon cheeseburger bombs warm, accompanied by ketchup, mustard, and optional pickle slices on the side for dipping. They make a perfect snack or appetizer for gatherings and family meals.

Notes

Ensure the biscuit dough is sealed tightly around the filling to avoid leaks during baking.
You can substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese such as pepper jack or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
For a spicier version, add some chopped jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper to the beef mixture.
Leftover bombs can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to retain crispness.
Sesame seeds are optional but add a nice nutty flavor and attractive appearance.
