Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) ground beef
- ½ cup (120 ml) shredded cheddar or American cheese
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- ½ small onion, finely diced
- ¼ cup (60 ml) chopped pickles (optional)
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- ½ cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsps ketchup
- 1 tbsp sweet pickle relish
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp white vinegar
Instructions
- Sauce Preparation: Whisk Big Mac sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside for later use.
- Beef Mixture: Sauté ground beef with onions in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, draining excess grease. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Allow mixture to cool slightly, then incorporate Big Mac sauce and shredded cheese.
- Dough Transformation: Gently flatten biscuit dough into circular shapes, ensuring each round reaches approximately 4 inches in diameter. Position a generous spoonful of seasoned beef mixture at the center of each round, adding chopped pickles if desired.
- Bomb Construction: Carefully fold dough edges upward, encapsulating the filling completely. Pinch and seal edges to form compact, spherical parcels, ensuring no filling escapes.
- Pre-Baking Preparation: Arrange bombs seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Generously brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds for enhanced flavor and texture.
- Baking Process: Slide baking sheet into a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Bake for 15-18 minutes until bombs achieve a rich, golden-brown exterior.
- Serving Suggestion: Plate warm bombs immediately, accompanied by additional Big Mac sauce for dipping, creating an interactive and delicious dining experience.
Notes
- Pinch edges tightly to prevent filling from leaking during baking, ensuring a perfect, intact bomb every time.
- Drain ground beef thoroughly to avoid soggy dough and maintain crispy exterior texture.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like cheddar or pepper jack for unique flavor profiles and personalized taste.
- Replace biscuit dough with gluten-free alternatives or low-carb options like cauliflower dough for dietary restrictions.
