A Little History on Cheeseburgers

Did you know the cheeseburger originated in the United States during the 1920s? It's said that Lionel Sternberger, a young cook at his father’s sandwich shop in California, accidentally dropped a slice of cheese onto a sizzling hamburger patty. The result? The birth of one of America’s most iconic comfort foods. These Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs are a fun twist on that classic, packing all the flavors of a cheeseburger into one delectable, bite-sized treat.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
• 1/4 cup diced onions
• 1/4 cup pickles, diced (optional)
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess grease. Add the diced onions, mustard, ketchup, salt, and pepper. Stir in the chopped bacon and mix everything together.
3. Prepare the Bombs: Flatten each biscuit dough round with your hands or a rolling pin. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each dough round. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and, if you like, diced pickles.
4. Seal the Bombs: Fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the filling and pinch them to seal. Place them seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the bombs. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the bombs are golden brown.
7. Serve: Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with extra ketchup or mustard for dipping!

Tips for Making the Best Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs:

• Customizing the Fillings: You can swap out the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option. Adding jalapeños will bring a bit of spice for those who love heat.
• Cheese Variations: While cheddar is a classic choice, you could also use Swiss or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
• Side Dish Pairings: Serve these with crispy fries, coleslaw, or even a fresh garden salad for a complete meal.

These Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs are quick and easy to prepare, making them a go-to recipe whenever you're short on time but craving something comforting and fun. Whether you're hosting a crowd or just want to indulge, this is a dish that will leave everyone coming back for seconds.
