Indulge in these quick & easy bacon-wrapped beef and cheese bombs—an explosion of flavor in every bite. Perfect for a satisfying dinner!
Ingredients
- • Ground beef: 1 pound
- • Cheddar cheese, cubed: 8 ounces
- • Smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Onion powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Bacon strips: 12
- • Crescent roll dough: 1 can (8 ounces)
- • Olive oil: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
- 3 Take a small amount of the beef mixture and flatten it into a disc in your palm. Place a cube of cheddar cheese in the center and fold the beef around it to form a ball, ensuring the cheese is completely enclosed. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- 4 Wrap each beef ball with a strip of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if necessary. Place the bacon-wrapped balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
- 5 Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it into strips. Wrap a strip around each bacon-wrapped beef ball, leaving the ends of the bacon exposed for extra crispiness.
- 6 Drizzle the olive oil over the top of each bomb for added crispiness and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the dough is golden brown.
- 7 Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the gooey cheese and smoky bacon flavor in every bite!
Serving Suggestions
- • These Smoky Bacon-Wrapped Beef & Cheese Bombs are a delightful main course on their own, but you can elevate the meal with a side of creamy coleslaw or a fresh arugula salad with a tangy vinaigrette to balance the richness of the bombs. For a cozy night in, pair them with a hearty stout or a glass of red wine, like a bold Cabernet Sauvignon, to complement the smoky and cheesy flavors. If you're feeling extra indulgent, consider serving them with a side of crispy sweet potato fries or garlic bread to mop up any delicious cheese that might escape. These bombs are versatile and can easily be the star of a casual dinner party or a fun family meal.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, let the beef bombs cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. For reheating, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through. To maintain the crispy texture, avoid microwaving as it may make the bacon and dough soggy.
