Stuffed Cheese Bombs Ingredients
- 1 pound bacon
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Cook Bacon: Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it is crisp. Once cooked, crumble the bacon into small pieces for easy mixing.
- Mix Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper to create a flavorful cheese mixture.
- Add Bacon: Stir the crumbled bacon into the cheese mixture until it is evenly distributed and well combined.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: Open the cans of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the individual biscuits.
- Flatten Biscuits: Flatten each biscuit into a circle using your hands or a rolling pin to prepare it for stuffing.
- Stuff Biscuits: Place a spoonful of the bacon and cheese mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit circle.
- Seal Dough: Fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the filling and pinch tightly to seal the mixture inside, forming a ball.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each stuffed dough ball seam side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep them sealed during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the cheese bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before handling to avoid burns.
- Serve: Enjoy your delicious, cheesy, bacon-stuffed cheese bombs warm as a savory appetizer or snack!
Notes
- You can substitute the cheddar with your favorite cheese such as mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
- If you prefer less salt, use reduced-sodium bacon and cheese.
- Ensure the dough is sealed tightly to prevent cheese from leaking out during baking.
- Serve with dipping sauces like ranch or spicy ketchup for extra flavor.
- These cheese bombs can be prepared ahead, assembled, refrigerated, and baked just before serving.
