Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced pickles
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain excess fat and return meat to the pan.
- Add diced onions to the beef and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until onions are soft and translucent.
- Stir in mustard and ketchup, mixing thoroughly with the beef and onions. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Gently flatten each biscuit with your hands to create a wider circle.
- Place a small spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each biscuit, topped with shredded cheddar cheese and diced pickles.
- Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough around the filling, pinching and sealing to create a complete sealed ball or "bomb".
- Arrange the sealed bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 3-5 minutes before serving. The filling will be extremely hot.
- Optional: Brush the tops with melted butter or additional cheese for extra flavor and shine.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh ground beef and high-quality cheddar cheese. You can even experiment with different cheese varieties for a unique twist!
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to add your favorite toppings to the filling, such as bacon bits or jalapeños, to give your Cheesy Big Mac Bombs a personalized touch.
- Don’t Overfill: When adding the beef mixture to the biscuits, be careful not to overfill them. A small spoonful is enough to prevent any spillage during baking.
- Seal Well: Make sure to pinch the edges of the biscuit dough tightly to avoid any leaks while baking. A good seal will keep all those delicious flavors inside!
- Serve with Dipping Sauces: Enhance your Cheesy Big Mac Bombs experience by serving them with your favorite dipping sauces, like ranch dressing or extra ketchup and mustard.
- Keep an Eye on Baking Time: Ovens can vary, so check the bombs a couple of minutes before the suggested baking time to ensure they don’t overcook. You want them golden brown and crispy!
