# What You Need:

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)

11 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
12 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
→ For Topping
13 - 1 egg, beaten

# Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a skillet over medium heat, sauté onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add ground beef, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until beef is browned, then drain any excess fat.
03 - Stir in ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped pickles. Remove skillet from heat and let mixture cool slightly.
04 - Flatten each biscuit round. Place 1 tablespoon of the cooled beef mixture and 1/2 tablespoon shredded cheddar in the center. Top with a mozzarella cube.
05 - Wrap dough around the filling, pinching edges to seal completely and shape into a ball. Position each seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
06 - Brush each dough ball with beaten egg and sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds.
07 - Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the biscuit exterior is deep golden brown.
08 - Allow bombs to cool for several minutes before serving. Pair with extra burger sauces or condiments for dipping.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- You get gooey cheese and juicy beef in every bite, all wrapped in a cozy little package you eat with your hands.
- This easy crowd-pleaser is secretly more playful (and less messy) than making full-sized burgers.
02 -
- I used to overfill them and learned the hard way that too much filling means leaks during baking.
- Chilling the stuffed bombs for a few minutes before baking helps them keep that picture-perfect round shape.
03 -
- If you line your baking sheet with parchment, cleaning up the cheesy drips is a cinch.
- Resist opening the oven too often, or the bombs won’t brown evenly—that anticipation is worth it!
