# What You Need:
→ Meats
01 - 1 pound ground beef
→ Cheese
02 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
03 - 8 small cubes mozzarella cheese, about 3/4 inch each
→ Vegetables
04 - 1 small onion, finely diced
05 - 1 small pickle, finely chopped (optional)
→ Dough
06 - 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough, 8 pieces
→ Spices & Seasonings
07 - 1 tablespoon ketchup
08 - 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
09 - 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
10 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
11 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
12 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
→ For Topping
13 - 1 egg, beaten
14 - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a skillet over medium heat, sauté diced onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add ground beef, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until beef is browned, breaking apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
03 - Mix in ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and pickles to the cooked beef. Stir well, then remove from heat and allow mixture to cool slightly.
04 - Flatten each biscuit round. Spoon 1 tablespoon beef mixture and 1/2 tablespoon shredded cheddar onto the center of each. Add a cube of mozzarella cheese.
05 - Fold dough over the fillings, pinching edges together to enclose and shape into a sealed ball. Position seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
06 - Brush each dough ball with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
07 - Bake on the center rack for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown.
08 - Let cool for several minutes before serving. Accompany with your preferred burger dipping sauces.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The cheese stays perfectly melted and hidden until that first bite (it&aposs a full-blown flavor surprise).
- It&aposs one of those rare recipes that both kids and grown-ups race each other to eat.
02 -
- If you try stuffing too much filling inside, the seams will burst open in the oven without fail.
- Cooling the beef mixture slightly before stuffing makes the bombs way easier to assemble cleanly.
03 -
- Bake on the middle rack for perfectly even browning—no more burnt bottoms.
- Chill the mozzarella cubes briefly so they don&apost vanish before the dough is done baking.
