Ingredients
  

Cheeseburger Bombs
  • 1 can Pillsbury butter biscuits 8 biscuits
  • 1 lb 85/15 ground beef 80/20 works too
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 4 oz mozzarella cheese freshly grated or bagged shredded
  • 4 oz cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes from a block so it melts nicely
  • your favorite burger seasoning to taste
Egg Wash and Topping
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp salt
  • sesame seeds for topping
  • oil or cooking spray for the baking sheet

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking Sheet
  • Pastry Brush

Method
 

Make the Filling
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef, breaking it apart as it browns. Season generously with your favorite burger seasoning. Drain excess grease if needed and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, saute the diced onion until softened. Set aside.
Build the Bombs
  1. Separate the 8 biscuits and roll each one out flat and wide with a rolling pin, big enough to hold the filling.
  2. Layer each flattened biscuit starting with mozzarella, then seasoned ground beef, sauteed onions, a cube of cheddar, and a little more mozzarella on top.
  3. Pull the dough up and around the filling, pinching the edges together to completely seal. Roll each one gently between your hands into a tight, rounded shape that looks like a little burger.
Egg Wash and Bake
  1. Beat the egg with the salt and brush it generously over each bomb, then sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
  2. Place the bombs seam side down on a lightly oiled or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F until puffed and golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. A grill running at 350°F with the lid closed does the same job.
  3. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving, since the cheese inside stays very hot. Serve with fries, tater tots, and your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Cheese: The amounts are a solid starting point. Load them how your family likes.
Sealing: Pinch the seams completely shut and bake seam side down so the cheese stays inside.
Doneness: Go by color. Pull them when the biscuits are puffed and golden brown.
Nutrition: Values shown are estimates.
