Dill Pickle Cheeseburger Mozzarella (Printable Format)

Biscuit bombs stuffed with mozzarella, seasoned beef, cheddar, and pickles for crispy, cheesy bites.

# Needed Ingredients:

→ Filling

01 - 8 mozzarella sticks, halved for 16 pieces
02 - 8 ounces ground beef, cooked and seasoned
03 - 4 strips turkey bacon, cooked and finely crumbled
04 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
05 - 1/2 cup finely chopped dill pickles
06 - 1 tablespoon dill pickle juice

→ Dough and Coating

07 - 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
08 - 1 large egg, beaten
09 - 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
10 - 2 tablespoons melted butter
11 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
12 - 1 teaspoon dried dill
13 - Fresh chopped dill or parsley, for garnish (optional)

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a bowl, mix cooked ground beef, crumbled turkey bacon, shredded cheddar, chopped dill pickles, and dill pickle juice until well combined.
03 - Flatten each biscuit dough piece into a 3-inch circle. Place a spoonful of beef mixture in the center and top with one mozzarella stick piece.
04 - Wrap dough around the filling and pinch edges to seal, forming a smooth ball. Use beaten egg to help seal if necessary.
05 - Mix panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and dried dill. Brush each dough ball with melted butter and roll in the breadcrumb mixture until coated.
06 - Arrange coated balls on the baking sheet. Bake for 13 to 16 minutes until golden brown or air fry at 375°F for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking halfway through.
07 - Let mozzarella bombs cool slightly, then garnish with fresh dill or parsley if desired. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - Seal dough tightly around the filling to prevent cheese from escaping during baking.
02 - For extra crispiness, allow the bombs to rest for a minute before serving.
