Pro Cooking Tips
-
Use Ground Chuck or 80/20 Beef: It provides the perfect balance of moisture and flavor. Leaner blends may result in dryness.
-
Freeze for 10 Minutes Before Cooking: Chilling helps the bombs hold their shape, especially if you prepped them in advance.
-
Use a Wire Rack: Cooking on a wire rack allows heat to circulate evenly, and the bacon crisps up better.
-
Try Variations: Substitute beef with ground turkey or sausage for a different twist. Use smoked gouda, pepper jack, or mozzarella inside for flavor changes.
-
Make it Spicy: Mix a dash of hot sauce into the meat mixture or add sliced jalapeños on top.
-
Meal Prep Friendly: These can be formed ahead and frozen (uncooked or cooked) in airtight containers. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10–15 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
-
Game Day Appetizers: Stack them on skewers or serve in a tray with warm BBQ dip.
-
Sliders: Place each bomb in a small brioche bun with pickles and slaw.
-
BBQ Platter: Serve alongside coleslaw, baked beans, and mac & cheese.
-
Breakfast Bombs: Pair with scrambled eggs and hash browns for a savory brunch option.
