Cheesy Cheeseburger Bombs Explosion (Printable)
Golden biscuit-wrapped beef bites filled with cheddar and a mozzarella center, brushed with sesame-topped egg wash.
# What you'll need:
→ Meats
01 - 1 pound ground beef
→ Cheese
02 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
03 - 8 small cubes mozzarella cheese, approximately 3/4-inch each
→ Vegetables
04 - 1 small onion, finely diced
05 - 1 small pickle, finely chopped (optional)
→ Dough
06 - 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough, 8 biscuits
→ Spices & Seasonings
07 - 1 tablespoon ketchup
08 - 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
09 - 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
10 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
11 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
12 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
→ For Topping
13 - 1 egg, beaten
14 - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Heat a skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add ground beef, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook, breaking up meat, until browned through. Drain excess fat.
03 - Stir ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped pickles into the cooked beef mixture. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
04 - Flatten each biscuit round on a work surface. Place 1 tablespoon of the beef mixture and 1/2 tablespoon shredded cheddar in the center. Top with a mozzarella cube.
05 - Wrap dough around the filling, pinching edges tightly to seal and forming a ball. Arrange each bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
06 - Brush each bomb with beaten egg. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, until the biscuit dough is puffed and golden brown.
08 - Allow baked bombs to rest a few minutes before serving. Offer with additional ketchup, mustard, or preferred burger sauces.

- Once, I got impatient and stuffed the bombs with too much filling, only to watch them burst open—less really is more for a tidy center.
- Chilling the mozzarella cubes before assembly made all the difference; they stay put and melt beautifully inside.

- If you want super crispy bottoms, sprinkle a little flour or cornmeal on the parchment before baking.
- For the ultimate cheesy pull, use mozzarella straight from the fridge and press it firmly in the center every time.
