02 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
03 - 8 small mozzarella cheese cubes, approximately 3/4 inch each
→ Vegetables
04 - 1 small onion, finely diced
05 - 1 small pickle, finely chopped (optional)

06 - 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
→ Spices & Seasonings
07 - 1 tablespoon ketchup

→ For Topping
13 - 1 egg, beaten
14 - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
# Method:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a skillet over medium heat, cook diced onion until translucent, approximately 3 minutes. Add ground beef, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Sauté until beef is fully browned, then drain excess fat.
03 - Mix in ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped pickles. Stir well, remove skillet from heat, and let filling mixture cool slightly.
04 - Flatten each biscuit round. Place 1 tablespoon of beef mixture in the center, add 1/2 tablespoon shredded cheddar, and top with a mozzarella cheese cube.
05 - Enclose the filling by bringing dough edges together and pinching to seal completely, forming a ball. Arrange seam side down on prepared baking sheet.
06 - Brush each dough ball with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
07 - Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown and baked through.
08 - Cool slightly before serving. Present with your choice of dipping sauces.
# Insider Tips:
01 -
- The cheese really does ooze out in the most dramatic, satisfying way when you bite in
- You can make them ahead and bake off fresh so your house smells like burger night even on busy days
02 -
- If you under-seal the edges, the cheese will spill all over the tray instead of staying inside—pinch, then pinch again.
- Waiting five minutes before biting in means you’ll get gooey cheese, not molten lava burns—hard-won knowledge!
03 -
- If you like a super-crisp bottom, heat your baking sheet in the oven before adding the bombs.
- Sprinkling a little extra salt on top right out of the oven wakes up all the flavors.
