Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs

Introduction

Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs take the classic flavors of a juicy cheeseburger and wrap them into a crispy, handheld delight. Featuring savory beef, melty cheese, smoky bacon, and a golden biscuit exterior, these bites are perfect for game day, parties, or a fun family dinner.

Origin

The idea of “stuffed” or “bomb-style” foods gained popularity in American home cooking and food media over the past decade—combining comfort food favorites into convenient, snackable bites. This recipe brings together two iconic American favorites: cheeseburgers and pull-apart appetizers.

Cultural Significance

Cheeseburgers are a major symbol of casual American dining—backyard barbecues, diners, food trucks, and celebrations. These “bombs” modernize that treasured flavor experience, turning it into a social, shareable treat that brings people together around good food and fun.

Ingredients Quantity (Makes 12 bombs)

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 12 cube-cut pieces of cheddar or American cheese
  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 12 slices bacon, cooked (but not crispy)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Optional Additions

  • Pickle slices tucked inside for a tangy surprise
  • Jalapeños for heat
  • BBQ sauce brushed on top before baking
  • Serve with ketchup, mustard, or burger sauce for dipping
  • Swap cheddar for pepper jack or smoked gouda

Tips for Success

  • Pre-cook the bacon until flexible but not crisp (so it wraps easily)
  • Press seams of biscuit dough tightly to avoid cheese leaks
  • Bake on parchment to simplify cleanup
  • Let them rest a few minutes after baking to prevent burns
  • Air fryer option: 375°F (190°C) 10–12 min for extra crispness

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet.
  2. Cook ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire until browned. Let cool slightly.
  3. Flatten each biscuit and add a spoonful of beef to the center.
  4. Place a cube of cheese on top of the meat.
  5. Fold biscuit dough around filling and seal completely.
  6. Wrap each ball with one slice of bacon and secure ends underneath.
  7. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
  8. Bake 20–25 minutes or until bacon is crisp and biscuits are golden.
  9. Cool a few minutes and serve with dipping sauces.

Description

Each bite bursts with juicy beef, creamy melted cheese, and smoky bacon—all hugged by flaky, buttery biscuit dough. Crispy outside, gooey inside — a true flavor bomb of cheeseburger bliss!
