Maple Bacon Cheeseburger Bomb

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Cook the ground beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and drain any excess fat.
Prepare the maple bacon sauce: In a small bowl, mix the crumbled cooked bacon and maple syrup together. Set aside.
Prepare the biscuit dough: Roll out each biscuit into a small circle (about 4 inches in diameter) if using biscuit dough. If using pizza dough, roll out dough and cut into small squares.
Assemble the bombs: Place a spoonful of the cooked ground beef in the center of each dough circle. Add a few cubes of cheddar cheese and a teaspoon of the maple bacon syrup mixture on top of the beef. Fold the dough around the filling, pinching the edges together to seal it into a ball.
Bake the bombs: Place the assembled bombs on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each bomb with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds (if desired).
Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve: Let the bombs cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve with fresh lettuce, pickles, and tomato slices for a complete cheeseburger experience!

Notes:

You can use any cheese of your choice, like mozzarella or American cheese, if you prefer.
For a tangy twist, mix a little mustard into the maple bacon syrup.
For a spicier kick, add some jalapeño slices to the filling before sealing the dough.
These are great served with your favorite dipping sauce or ketchup!
