How to Make Cheesy Bacon Ranch Burger Stuffed Biscuit Bombs
Prepare to indulge in the ultimate comfort food mashup with these Cheesy Bacon Ranch Burger Stuffed Biscuit Bombs. Let’s dive into the steps to create this delightful treat.
Step 1 — Prepare the Biscuit Dough and Beef Filling
Begin by preparing the biscuit dough. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the chilled, cubed butter until a coarse, crumbly texture forms. Gently stir in the milk until a soft dough comes together. In a separate bowl, mix the ground beef with the ranch seasoning and Worcestershire sauce.
Step 2 — Assemble the Biscuit Bombs
Roll out the biscuit dough and cut it into 12 rounds using a 3-inch biscuit cutter. Place a heaping tablespoon of the seasoned beef mixture in the center of each round, then top with a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese. Wrap the dough around the filling, sealing the edges to create a stuffed biscuit bomb. Arrange the biscuit bombs on a baking sheet.
Step 3 — Bake the Biscuit Bombs
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the biscuit bombs for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 4 — Add the Crispy Bacon
While the biscuit bombs are baking, cook the bacon until crispy. Once the biscuit bombs are out of the oven, top them with the crumbled bacon. Serve hot and enjoy the ooey-gooey, comforting goodness.
Chef Tips & Variations
- Ranch Drizzle: For an even more decadent twist, try adding a dollop of creamy ranch dressing or a drizzle of tangy barbecue sauce on top of the biscuit bombs.
