- 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or 6 small cubes)
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)

Step-by-Step Instructions
- ➜ Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- ➜ Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Drain excess grease and let cool slightly.
- ➜ Assemble the bombs: Flatten each biscuit dough round and spoon about 1 tablespoon of cooked beef in the center. Add bacon and a pinch (or cube) of cheddar cheese.
- ➜ Seal and shape: Fold dough around the filling and pinch edges tightly to form a ball. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- ➜ Brush and bake: Brush each bomb with beaten egg, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
- ➜ Serve: Let cool slightly, then serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
