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!

These were AWESOME!!!! Everyone loved them, perfect size for my younger kids. Will absolutely make again. Easy prep, looked pretty, tasted great!
I’m SO happy to hear that everyone loved these as much as we do Molly!
Your recipe good for smaller batches.
These are just finishing up in the oven now! Can’t wait…
A couple suggestions though, 350 degrees was not hot enough in our crappy old non-convection oven for a 13-16 minute window. They’re in there a total of 23-24 minutes to get brown. Could probably just bump that up to 375 if your oven’s old.
Also, the meat filling makes almost 2x what you need for 10 of these suckers! Good left-over opty for the bacon cheeseburger egg rolls =D (or cut the filling part in half sans cheese, you want 5 oz cheese).
Thank you for the tips on the oven!
Stuff the leftovers in mushrooms and bake if you’ve got extra, so good! ;)
So good, I add some extra condiments depending on what you like but this is such a great recipe!!! Not dry and no you don’t taste the cream cheese. They are gooey and delicious
My whole family absolutely loves this one! I’ve made it several times. I never have leftovers, even when I tripled the recipe!
I am so glad this recipe was a hit with your family!
I made a big batch and froze some. What do you suggest temp and time to reheat them from frozen in the the oven?
In America, what you call biscuits, we call scones. Your dough you used here looks more like pizza dough
We definitely call these biscuits lol. A scone is entirely different. I love this recipe and I’ve made it plenty of times over the past few years. I never change a thing and it always comes out perfect!
Good day Holly – this is basically pizza dough you are using for your bacon cheeseburger bombs – is that correct please !

Hi Mike, the dough is sold as biscuit dough but pizza dough would certainly work.

Glad I came across this idea on pinterest, saved my life tonight! Couldn’t make it to the store, so I just had to use what I had in my refrigerator and pantry. I used plain non-fat greek yogurt instead of cream cheese because I didn’t know I had cream cheese available, and the sauce still came out great. And instead of the balls, I made them like meat patties or hot pockets, using two biscuit dough slices each. Happy with the results and tastes JUST like a cheeseburger, and I didn’t even need fries! I was stuffed after the first one.
I just got done making this for a lunch I made for my sister and I and we were both wowed by the flavor. Very good and will definitely make it again!
Can you use pizza dough balls instead of biscuits?
Hi Taryn, you could, but I think the biscuit dough adds a great texture to the recipe.
My husband made these and they are sooo good! Our daughter loved these just as much as we did! We doubled the recipe because we wanted some the next day and they are just as good as the day you made them…so, just in case anyone is wondering, yes these can be stored in the fridge and still be just as yummy reheated! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
I am so glad your family enjoyed the recipe Heather!
Tried this tonight for dinner and if was a hit with all three of the kids! Definitely a do over!
these are SO GOOD! The cream cheese I planned on using had gone bad so I dug around the fridge to find a substitute, I found a little babybel cheese and thought “why not?” It worked really well and added some flavor. I also added chopped pickles yum!
Wow, that’s an interesting substitute for sure! Glad that it still tasted great! :)
This recipe is perfect! I have made these so many times, and they just keep getting better! Thank you!!
Is it farenheit or celcius oven temp???
The oven temperature if F.
Yummy
Mm… they look good but I am going to try and revamp as sloppy joe bombs!!
Fingers crossed it turns out okay
Let us know how they turn out! :)
More like Amazebombs!! I added some jalapeno. Used my homemade Bisquick mix and had to make another 1/2 bath. Mine were quite small. I used an English muffin cutter and then tried to roll out more. I had about 18 small bombs.
Next time I will roll out thicker, cut, and then roll thin to fill. Baked on a silapat mat. Perfect. Although I ended up turning up the heat as they were not browning.
I’m so glad you enjoyed them! Thank you for the feedback on using your own biscuit mix, I know not everyone can get the premade biscuits!
Going to make these tonight. =) we’ll see how it goes! Looks yummy and easy! Two of the best things to look for when you are alone and cooking for one!
Let us know how they turn out! :)
