Description
Ever wish your cheeseburger came in a cute little portable package that exploded with flavor in every bite? Meet the Maple Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs — golden, flaky biscuit dough stuffed with juicy ground beef, melty cheese, crispy bacon, and just a kiss of maple syrup to make your taste buds do a happy dance. They’re sweet, savory, salty, cheesy, and dangerously addictive. Think burger meets breakfast meets game-day snack. Yeah, it’s a vibe.
Ingredients
For the Filling:
1 lb ground beef
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 small onion, finely diced (optional but fab)
6 slices cooked bacon, chopped
1 tbsp maple syrup (plus extra for brushing)
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
For the Bombs:
1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
1 egg + 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)
Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion until browned and fully cooked (about 6–8 minutes). Drain any excess fat. Stir in maple syrup and cooked bacon. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before adding cheese. Stir to combine.
Step 2: Prep the Dough
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Flatten each biscuit round slightly with your hands or a rolling pin. Scoop a generous spoonful of the beef-cheese mixture into the center of each round. Fold the edges up and pinch to seal like a little dough pouch. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Step 3: Brush & Bake
Brush each bomb with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using. Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden and puffed.
Step 4: The Final Touch
As soon as they come out of the oven, brush with a little extra maple syrup for that shiny, sticky-sweet finish.
Notes
Serve with pickles and dipping sauces like spicy mayo, BBQ, or good old-fashioned ketchup.
Add a side salad or coleslaw if you’re trying to feel balanced.
Serve them as sliders with mini buns if you’re feeding a crowd.
