Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs
Ingredients:
1 package Pillsbury Grands - Flaky Layers refrigerated original or buttermilk biscuits
1 lb lean Ground Beef, cooked
8oz Cheddar Cheese, cut into 16 cubes
16 slices of Bacon
Toothpicks
Oil for Frying
Directions:
Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Cut each biscuit in half; press with hands into circle about 3 inches in diameter.
In center of each biscuit round, place 2 tablespoons cooked ground beef (or 1 meatball) and 1 cube of cheese. Wrap dough to completely enclose beef and cheese; pinch seams to seal.
Wrap each stuffed “bomb” with 1 bacon slice; gently secure loose bacon with toothpick by inserting it through bacon and halfway into “bomb.” In 3-quart heavy saucepan or deep fryer, heat oil to 350?F. Fry stuffed “bombs” 4 to 5 minutes or until dough is golden brown on all sides. Place on paper towels to cool. Repeat with remaining "bombs". Serve warm with ketchup and mustard, if desired.
