Cheddar-Stuffed BBQ Bacon Bombs

Step-by-Step Instructions

Mix the Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl use your hands to combine the ground beef breadcrumbs egg salt black pepper garlic powder and onion powder Really work the mixture until smooth and even This helps prevent the bombs from crumbling later

Shape and Fill:
Pinch off enough meat mixture for one bomb Flatten in your palm and tuck a generous pinch of cheddar into the center Shape the meat around the cheese sealing well so none can escape These should be slightly larger than a golf ball

Wrap in Bacon:
Take a slice of beef bacon and gently stretch it before wrapping it snugly around each bomb Tuck the ends underneath so they stay in place as they cook

Arrange and Glaze:
Set each bacon-wrapped bomb seam side down on a parchment lined baking sheet Brush each one with a thin layer of BBQ sauce to start building the glaze

Bake to Perfection:
Place the tray in a preheated 375 degree oven Bake for twenty five to thirty minutes brushing on a bit more BBQ sauce halfway through The bombs are done when the bacon is crisp and the meat reaches one hundred sixty degrees inside

Serve:
These are best enjoyed hot straight from the oven Serve them with extra BBQ sauce for dipping if you like
