Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs!
Bacon Cheeseburger bombs are not only delicious, they’re simple to put together and my kids just gobble them up… who am I kidding, so do I!!
A warm crispy sesame crust loaded up with gooey cheese, seasoned ground beef, onions, bacon and all the fixin’s packed into one neat tidy little bundle! The best part is that these are actually very quick to make!
These are actually a really great simple dinner, lunch or even a great snack. If you have any leftovers, these reheat perfectly. We make them ahead of time and add them to lunches. Not only do they kids love them, they take about 30 seconds to reheat and are so much better than store bought pizza pockets!
You can find biscuits in the refrigerator section of most supermarkets making these extra easy and quick. If you don’t want to use pre-made biscuits, you can use homemade biscuits and get great results! Mushrooms or grated carrots are the perfect way to add some extra veggies to this recipe!
If you have any leftover beef mixture, it’s delicious in a roll or as a wrap for a quick lunch… or add it to a grilled cheese for a truly amazing sandwich!

Can you make this ahead the night before and bake the next day?
I would suggest making the filling ahead of time and filling the rolls the day of. They can certainly be refrigerated a few hours but I’m not sure how they would do overnight.
So many biscuits out there these days… Can you tell me what you used. Such as flaky or non, buttermilk, butter, jumbo….. You get the idea right haha. Im sure some work better than others so just want to try yours first
Any biscuit will work but I usually use the buttermilk biscuits.
I’m gonna make these for a weekend breakfast, but use bulk sausage instead of ground beef!
That would be delicious!
These are great! I made mine in the toaster oven so you have to reduce the heat so the biscuit cooks completely. I cooked them at 250 for 20 minutes.
Parchment paper works great.
I can pack them for my lunch at work. I am going to play around with the seasonings a bit.
Thank you for the great tip! Very helpful!
I just made these for my 4 kids and hub…third batch is in the oven and I haven’t gotten to taste one yet! I think they’re a hit…so I got jumbo butter biscuits thinking they’d be easier to roll out…not the case. I ended up just stretching them to size. I think the butter chunks were the problem so might work better with plain or buttermilk. I 2nd the suggestion for smaller pieces of cheese and/or mixing it right in. My family thanks you!
I’m so glad your family loved these!! Thank you for your tip on the biscuits.
Love Your Stuff!!!! :)
Thank you so much Carolann!! <3
sound very great going to try them tonight
I love the site
Thank you!!
These look so amazing! I plan to make them soon! Just curious, on the ingredients list you said you used canned biscuits but on the bottom is says crescent rolls. Which would work better for this recipe?
Thank you! These should be made with biscuits.
It is biscuits or cresent rolls? Your recipe mentions both.
This is made with biscuits.
going to try this
Made these with what I had on hand, basically followed your recipe omitted bacon and substituted Soy Sauce for Worcestershire sauce. Added 1/2 c butternut squash puree to beef and cut back cream cheese to 4 oz. Turned out great! Thanks for a quick family friendly meal! Love the presentation!!
Could you make these ahead and leave in refrigerator a few hours before baking?
Yes, these can be in the fridge a few hours before baking.
Please tell me about the biscuits. Are they salted one , bakery biscuits or what?
The biscuits come in a can and are a raw dough (similar to a scone). They are found in the refrigerator section in most North American supermarkets.
Going to try making these tonight. But had a question. Was wondering if they would be good if you used steak um with them instead of ground beef. And I am going to try using croissant rolls also. Only because that is what I have in my fridge at this time. Let me know if anyone has tried either of these ieads please and thank you.
I haven’t tried it but sounds delicous! I’d love to hear how it goes!
Made these tonight and they were really good! I ended up using 2 cans of biscuits because I had a lot of left over meat. I melted the cheddar cheese with the meat mixture like someone suggested and it helped keep everything together so I omitted the egg. They were a big hit – thanks for the recipe!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed them Sarah!
Hi, I’m making these for a lunch hour snack for my teaching staff. I will have to make them the night before. How long and at what temperature should i reheat before lunch the next day?
I would heat them about 10 minutes at 350 degrees. You’ll just want to check that they’re warmed and the cheese inside has melted.
I made these the other night and they were ok. Kind of bland even though I spiced the beef with salt, pepper, chili powder, and red pepper flakes while it was cooking. If I do make this recipe again, I would cook and chop the bacon separately before adding to the beef (cooking it with the beef made it chewy, not crunchy), and saute the onions and mushrooms that I chopped up and added to the mix separately as well. Also maybe throw in some hot sauce to bring the flavor up.
I have some of ther beef mixture left over that I am going to stuff into some bell peppers later this week.
Overall, not super impressed, but there is room for improvement.
These were outstanding! I added the cheese to the meat after the cooking process. I also made my own biscuits. Froze the leftovers. Thank you for a great recipe.
So glad you enjoyed them! Thank you for the tip about the homemade biscuits, not everyone has access to the canned ones! Great tip!
Can thy b deep fried?
I have only tried them baked so I can’t say for sure!
