How to Make Cheesy Bacon Ranch Burger Stuffed Crescent Bombs
Prepare to transform classic comfort into a visually stunning, feel-good creation with these Cheesy Bacon Ranch Burger Stuffed Crescent Bombs.
Step 1 — Prep Work
Begin by cooking the bacon until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces. In a separate bowl, mix the ground beef, ranch dressing, and half of the crumbled bacon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 2 — Main Cooking Process
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Unroll the crescent dough, separating it into triangles. Place a portion of the seasoned beef mixture onto the wide end of each triangle, then top with shredded cheese. Roll the dough up, starting from the wide end and working towards the narrow tip, to enclose the filling.
Step 3 — Final Steps/Assembly
Arrange the crescent-wrapped burger bombs on a baking sheet, seam-side down. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining crumbled bacon.
Step 4 — Finishing Touches
Bake the Cheesy Bacon Ranch Burger Stuffed Crescent Bombs for 15-18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the filling is heated through. Serve warm, garnished with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, or onion.
