03 - 8 small cubes mozzarella cheese (each about 3/4 inch)
→ Vegetables
04 - 1 small onion, finely diced

# Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Heat a skillet over medium. Sauté the onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the ground beef, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper; cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
03 - Stir ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped pickles into the cooked beef. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
04 - Flatten each biscuit round. Place 1 tablespoon beef mixture and 1/2 tablespoon shredded cheddar in the center. Add a mozzarella cube.
05 - Wrap the dough around the filling and pinch to seal, shaping into a ball. Set seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
06 - Brush each dough ball with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
07 - Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the outside is golden brown.
08 - Let the bombs cool for several minutes before serving. Offer with classic burger sauces for dipping.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- You get all the oozy cheeseburger goodness in a warm, golden biscuit without wielding a spatula or flipping patties at the stove.
- Every bite packs hidden pockets of molten cheese and savory beef you can customize however you like.
02 -
- If the beef mixture is too hot when filling, the biscuit dough gets sticky and tears—patience pays off.
- Using parchment paper is much easier than greasing the tray and guarantees you won't lose any crispy bottoms.
03 -
- Freezing unbaked bombs is a game changer for quick dinners—just add 2–3 minutes to the baking time from frozen.
- An extra sprinkle of cheddar on top before baking gives a toasty, melty crown that always impresses.
