These BBQ Bacon Cheddar Bombs are crispy, smoky, cheesy, and packed with flavor. Each bite is filled with gooey cheddar wrapped in biscuit dough, coated in sweet BBQ sauce, and finished with a crunchy bacon layer. They’re easy, addictive, and guaranteed to disappear fast!
⭐ Ingredients (Makes 12 bombs)
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade biscuit dough)
12 cheese cubes (cheddar works best, but pepper jack is great for spice)
12 slices of bacon
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
Optional: 1 tablespoon brown sugar for extra caramelization
Toothpicks
🔥 Instructions
1. Prep
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.
2. Stuff the biscuits
Flatten each biscuit slightly.
Place a cube of cheese in the center and pinch tightly to seal.
3. Wrap in bacon
Wrap one slice of bacon around each dough ball.
Secure with a toothpick so it doesn’t unravel.
4. Brush with BBQ sauce
Coat each bacon-wrapped ball with BBQ sauce.
(For stickier, sweeter bombs, mix BBQ sauce + brown sugar.)
5. Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until bacon is crispy and dough is cooked through.
6. Finish
Brush with additional warm BBQ sauce before serving if desired.
😋 Tips for the Best BBQ Bacon Cheddar Bombs
Use thick-cut bacon for more crunch and flavor, but thin-cut crisps faster.
Seal the biscuit dough well so the cheese doesn’t leak out.
Bake on a rack if you want extra-crispy bacon all around.
Try smoked cheddar or gouda for deeper flavor.
Add jalapeños inside for a spicy kick.
