02 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
03 - 8 small mozzarella cheese cubes, approximately 3/4 inch each
→ Vegetables
04 - 1 small onion, finely diced

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, cook diced onion until translucent, approximately 3 minutes. Add ground beef, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Sauté until beef is fully browned, then drain excess fat.
03 - Mix in ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped pickles. Stir well, remove skillet from heat, and let filling mixture cool slightly.
04 - Flatten each biscuit round. Place 1 tablespoon of beef mixture in the center, add 1/2 tablespoon shredded cheddar, and top with a mozzarella cheese cube.
05 - Enclose the filling by bringing dough edges together and pinching to seal completely, forming a ball. Arrange seam side down on prepared baking sheet.
06 - Brush each dough ball with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
07 - Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown and baked through.
08 - Cool slightly before serving. Present with your choice of dipping sauces.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- You get all the joy of a loaded cheeseburger with a perfectly crispy, buttery crust—no grill required.
- They're ridiculously easy to customize, which makes them perfect for sharing at gatherings or sneaking extra fillings for yourself.
02 -
- If you overfill the dough, it will burst in the oven—a messy lesson learned after my first enthusiastic attempt.
- Letting the filling cool slightly before assembling keeps the cheese from escaping and the dough much easier to handle.
03 -
- Always pinch the seams tightly or steam will escape and the bombs might open up mid-bake.
- Using cold dough makes forming and sealing the balls way easier and mess-free.
