Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

  2. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it becomes crispy. Once cooked, remove the bacon strips from the skillet, but keep 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat in the skillet. Chop the cooked bacon into small pieces.

  3. Add the onion to the skillet and cook until it becomes softened, which takes about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until it becomes fragrant. Then, add the ground beef to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until it is no longer pink, which takes around 5-6 minutes. Remove any excess fat from the skillet.

  4. Take each biscuit round and flatten it to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Place some cooked ground beef, pickles, mustard, cooked bacon, and cheese on each round of dough. Pinch the edges of the dough together to create a ball-shaped burger bomb.

  5. Arrange the burger bombs on the baking sheet with the seam side facing down. Brush the tops of the dough with melted butter and sprinkle them with sesame seeds.

  6. Bake the burger bombs in the oven until the biscuits turn golden and are fully cooked, which takes approximately 20 minutes.

  7. Serve the burger bombs with ketchup.
