Ingredients
For the beef filling
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped dill pickles
For the sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp yellow mustard
1 tbsp sweet pickle relish
1 tsp vinegar
1/2 tsp paprika
For assembly
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Sesame seeds for topping (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onions until the meat is browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, vinegar, and paprika to make the special sauce.
Flatten each biscuit dough piece into a 4-inch round. Spread a small spoonful of the sauce in the center of each round. Add a spoonful of the beef mixture, a bit of chopped pickles, and sprinkle some shredded cheese on top.
Carefully gather the edges of the dough and pinch to seal, forming a ball. Place each bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each bomb with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Let cool slightly before serving. Serve with extra special sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
You can substitute the biscuit dough with pizza dough or crescent roll dough for a different texture. These bombs are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can be reheated in an air fryer or oven to maintain crispiness. For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the filling.
