Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled Crumble bacon small for even bites.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or American) Use sharp cheddar for bold flavor.
  • 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough Plain biscuit dough keeps it simple.
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • to taste Salt and pepper
Optional Add-Ins
  • diced onions Can be added to beef mixture.
  • pickles Can be added to beef mixture.
  • mustard Can be added to beef mixture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
  3. Stir in the crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper into the browned beef.
  4. Open the biscuit dough and separate it into rounds. Flatten each biscuit until about 1/4 inch thick.
Assembly
  1. Spoon a generous tablespoon of the beef mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit.
  2. If using optional ingredients like onions or pickles, tuck them into the filling now.
  3. Fold the edges of the biscuit up over the filling and pinch tightly to seal.
  4. Place the bombs seam-side down on the baking sheet, leaving space between each.
Baking
  1. Bake for 12–15 minutes until the tops are golden and the edges are crisp.
  2. Let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

Time-saver: Cook bacon and crumble in advance. If the dough bursts open, press seams tighter and don’t overfill. Use a little egg wash to seal if needed. For a tangy kick, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika or mustard.
