 Ingredients

 For the Filling:

• 1 lb (500g) ground beef
• 1/2 small onion, finely grated
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon mustard (optional)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup cheddar or mozzarella cheese (cut into small cubes)
• 6 strips bacon, cooked and chopped

 For the Dough:

• 1 package pizza dough or puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 egg yolk (for brushing)

Garlic Parmesan Butter:

• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
• Pinch of salt

 Instructions

 Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, combine:

• Ground beef
• Grated onion
• Ketchup
• Mustard (if using)
• Salt, pepper, and garlic powder

Mix everything well until fully combined. Let it rest for about 10 minutes so the flavors can blend together.

 Step 2: Cook the Bacon

Place the bacon strips in a pan over medium heat and cook until crispy.
Transfer to paper towels, let them cool, then chop into small pieces.

 Step 3: Assemble the Cheeseburger Balls

1. Take a small portion of the beef mixture (about golf ball size).
2. Flatten it slightly in your hand.
3. Place a cube of cheese and a bit of chopped bacon in the center.
4. Carefully wrap the meat around the filling and roll into a sealed ball.

Repeat until all the mixture is used.

 Step 4: Wrap with Dough

1. Roll out your dough and cut it into equal squares.
2. Place each meatball in the center of a dough square.
3. Fold and seal the dough tightly around the ball.

Make sure there are no openings so the cheese doesn’t leak out during baking.

 Step 5: Bake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Place the stuffed dough balls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Brush each one with egg yolk for a golden finish.
4. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked.

 Step 6: Make Garlic Parmesan Butter

In a small bowl, mix together:

• Melted butter
• Minced garlic
• Parmesan cheese
• Parsley
• Salt

As soon as the cheeseburger bombs come out of the oven, brush them generously with this mixture for extra flavor.

 Serving Suggestions

Serve these cheeseburger bombs hot with:

• Ketchup

They’re great as:

• Party appetizers

 Tips for Best Results

• Seal well: Make sure the dough is tightly sealed to prevent cheese leaks.
• Don’t overfill: Too much filling can break the dough.
• Use melty cheese: Mozzarella or cheddar works best for that gooey center.
• Crispier texture: Bake a few extra minutes if you like them extra crispy.
• Spicy twist: Add chili flakes or hot sauce to the beef mixture
