Instructions:
1. Prepare the Bacon and Beef Filling:
- Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through. Break up the beef into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the beef. Stir to combine and cook for another minute to let the flavors meld together.
- Remove the beef from the heat and stir in the chopped cooked bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
2. Prepare the Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit dough round with your hands or a rolling pin into a small circle (about 4 inches in diameter). If using pizza dough, roll it out and cut it into small squares or circles.
3. Stuff the Bombs:
- Place a spoonful of the bacon-beef mixture in the center of each dough circle.
- Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling to form a ball. Pinch the edges together to seal the bomb, ensuring the filling stays inside.
4. Bake the Bacon Cheeseburger Garlic Bombs:
- Arrange the filled dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
5. Prepare the Garlic Butter:
- While the bacon cheeseburger bombs are baking, prepare the garlic butter by melting the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the butter and cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant (be careful not to brown the garlic).
- Stir in the Italian seasoning and fresh parsley, if desired, and remove from heat.
6. Coat the Bombs:
- As soon as the bacon cheeseburger garlic bombs are out of the oven, brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture. Make sure to coat the tops of each bomb for that perfect buttery, garlicky finish.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
- Let the bombs cool for a couple of minutes, then serve them up hot with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing. Enjoy every cheesy, crispy, garlicky bite!
Tips for Perfect Bacon Cheeseburger Garlic Bombs
- Use lean ground beef for a less greasy filling, or go for ground turkey if you prefer a leaner option.
- Pre-cook your bacon and chop it into small pieces for easy mixing with the beef. If you like extra crispy bacon, bake it in the oven for even crispiness.
- Add pickles or onions to the filling for an extra burst of flavor. You can even add a few dashes of hot sauce if you like a little heat with your cheeseburger bombs.
- Serve with extra garlic butter on the side for dipping — because you can never have enough garlic butter!
- Make ahead: You can assemble the bacon cheeseburger garlic bombs in advance, cover them tightly, and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours. When ready, just pop them in the oven to bake.
