Description
Fluffy biscuit bombs filled with savory ground beef, crispy bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, and glazed with a sweet and garlicky maple syrup.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef (80/20)
4 slices bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 count)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for glaze)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove, drain on paper towels, and crumble. Set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart, until fully browned. Drain any excess grease. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Fold in the crumbled bacon. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 4: Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough. On a lightly floured surface, gently flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch round disc.
Step 5: Place a generous tablespoon of the beef and bacon mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 6: Carefully bring the edges of the biscuit dough up and over the filling, pinching them together firmly to create a completely sealed ball.
Step 7: In a small bowl, whisk together the pure maple syrup, melted butter, and the optional 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder for the glaze. Brush the tops and sides of each sealed bomb generously with this glaze.
Step 8: Arrange the glazed bombs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed, and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately.
Notes
For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or a tangy BBQ sauce.
