How to Make Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Stuffed Biscuit Bombs
This delectable recipe is surprisingly simple to prepare, allowing you to indulge in restaurant-quality comfort food at home with ease.
Step 1 — Prepare the Garlic Butter Biscuit Dough
Begin by preparing the garlic butter mixture. In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat and gently sauté minced garlic until fragrant and softened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled garlic butter with flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to create the biscuit dough. Refrigerate the dough while you prepare the cheeseburger filling.
Step 2 — Cook the Cheeseburger Filling
In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up into small crumbles as it browns. Drain any excess fat, then stir in the cooked, crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. Season the filling with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3 — Assemble the Biscuit Bombs
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the chilled biscuit dough into a thin sheet, about 1/4-inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter or a small round cookie cutter, cut out circles from the dough. Place a heaping tablespoon of the cheeseburger filling into the center of each dough circle. Gently fold the dough over the filling, creating a half-moon shape, and crimp the edges to seal. Arrange the stuffed biscuit bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Step 4 — Bake and Finish
Brush the tops of the biscuit bombs with the remaining garlic butter, ensuring an even coating. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Chef Tips & Variations
- Extra Cheesy: For an extra indulgent touch, you can sprinkle a bit of shredded cheese on top of the biscuit bombs before baking. The melted cheese will create a beautiful, gooey topping that oozes deliciousness with every bite.
- Spicy Kick: If you prefer a spicier kick, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the cheeseburger filling.
- Garnish for Elegance: To make these bites even more visually stunning, you can garnish them with freshly chopped parsley or chives once they come out of the oven.
- Customize the Filling: The possibilities are endless when it comes to customizing these Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Stuffed Biscuit Bombs to suit your taste preferences.

How do I ensure the biscuit dough cooks through?
To ensure the biscuit dough cooks through, be sure to roll it out thin, about 1/4-inch thick, before filling and sealing the biscuit bombs. This will help the dough bake evenly and prevent any raw or doughy centers. Additionally, be sure to bake the stuffed biscuits at the recommended temperature and monitor them closely until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
