These cheeseburger bombs wrap all the savory, cheesy goodness of a classic cheeseburger into soft biscuit dough for a fun, handheld meal or appetizer. Perfect for parties, snacks, or quick dinners.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings (16 bombs)

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 8 slices cheddar cheese, each cut into quarters
  • 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough (about 16 biscuits)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chopped dill pickles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cook ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium heat until browned and softened. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes more, then remove from heat and cool slightly.
  4. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle.
  5. Add 1–1½ tablespoons of beef mixture to each dough round. Top with cheddar cheese and optional pickles.
  6. Bring edges of dough together, pinch to seal, and form into a ball. Place seam-side down on baking sheet.
  7. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
  8. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Seal dough tightly to prevent filling leakage.
  • Try different cheeses like American or pepper-jack.
  • Great for make-ahead: assemble and chill until baking.
  • Air fryer alternative: cook at 350°F for 8–10 minutes.
