Ingredients (in Grams)

For the Cheeseburger Filling:

250g ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
100g shredded cheddar cheese
100g cooked, crumbled bacon

For the Dough:

1 can (300g) refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade dough)
1 egg (for egg wash, optional)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for topping, optional)

For Dipping (Optional):

Ketchup
Mustard
Burger sauce

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cheeseburger Filling

Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks.
Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well.
Mix in ketchup and mustard for that classic cheeseburger flavor.
Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheddar cheese and bacon crumbles. Set aside to cool.

Step 2: Assemble the Cheeseburger Bombs

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Roll out each biscuit dough piece into a 10cm (4-inch) circle.
Place 1-2 tablespoons of the cheeseburger filling in the center of each dough circle.
Pull up the edges and pinch them together to seal, forming a round ball.

Step 3: Bake to Golden Perfection

Place the sealed-side down bombs onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Brush the tops with egg wash for a glossy finish (optional).
Sprinkle with sesame seeds for a burger-like touch.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!

Let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve with ketchup, mustard, or burger sauce for dipping!
