Ingredients
→ Main Ingredients
- 01 1 pound ground beef
- 02 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 03 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 04 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 05 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 06 1/3 cup finely minced or grated white onion
- 07 1/3 cup chopped dill pickles, finely chopped
- 08 1/2 pound block of American cheese
- 09 1 package of 24 frozen dinner rolls
- 10 1 large egg, beaten
- 11 Sesame seeds for garnish
Steps
Step 01
Thaw roll dough according to package instructions.
Step 02
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 03
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion powder, garlic salt, salt, pepper, minced onion, and dill pickles.
Step 04
Divide the meat mixture into 24 sections. Slice the cheese into 24 chunks (approximately 1/2 inch square). Form a flat circle with each meat section, place a chunk of cheese in the center, and roll the meat up around the cheese to form a ball with the cheese in the center.
Step 05
Place the cheese-stuffed meat balls in a large skillet and brown them briefly on each side, maintaining their shape. Do not cook through.
Step 06
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one ball of thawed dough into a circle slightly larger than the meat ball. Place the meat ball in the center and wrap the dough around it, pinching the bottom to seal. Place on the prepared sheet pan.
Step 07
Brush the tops and sides of the bombs with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Step 08
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 09
Serve immediately with Big Mac special sauce or your preferred dipping sauce.
Tips
- Pan-frying the stuffed meat balls helps seal the cheese, provides additional flavor, and avoids soggy bread.
- Minced onions and chopped pickles should be finely prepped to ensure proper cooking and formation of meatballs.
- American cheese adds the authentic Big Mac flavor, but mild or medium cheddar works as an alternative.
