Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb thick-cut bacon about 12 slices
- 16 oz refrigerated biscuit dough 8 large biscuits
- 12 oz fully cooked mini meatballs about 16 pieces
- 6 oz sharp cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes 16 cheese cubes
- 0.5 cup barbecue sauce plus extra for serving
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp chili powder or smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped pickled jalapeños optional, for heat
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed sheet pan and set a rack on top if you have one.
- Whisk barbecue sauce, brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Set aside for glazing.
- Split each biscuit in half to make 16 rounds. Press each piece into a 3-inch disk.
- Place a cheese cube and one mini meatball in the center of each dough disk. Add jalapeño if using.
- Pinch dough edges together to seal completely, forming a tight ball with no gaps.
- Cut bacon slices in half. Wrap each dough ball with a half slice, tucking the ends underneath.
- Brush bombs lightly with the sauce mixture. Arrange seam-side down on the rack or lined pan.
- Bake 18 minutes. Flip, brush again, and bake 8–10 minutes more until bacon is crisp and dough is cooked.
- Broil 1–2 minutes for extra crisp edges, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Rest 5 minutes. Serve warm with extra barbecue sauce for dipping.
Notes
Variation: Swap cheddar for pepper jack or add a pinch of cayenne to the glaze. For a breakfast twist, use cooked sausage instead of meatballs and drizzle with maple syrup.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven or air fryer until hot and crisp.
