# Instructions:
01 -
Alright, let’s get started! First, cook your ground beef and bacon in a skillet until they’re lovely and brown. That smell? Oh my gosh, it’s like heaven! Just make sure not to burn them like I did the first time I made these—those charred bits? Not great. Drain the grease, and mix in the garlic and onion powders. Seriously, don't skip this part!
02 -
In a large bowl, combine your beef, bacon, and shredded mozzarella. This is where the magic happens! I always end up with cheese sticking to my fingers—it's a cheesy mess, but one I will never complain about! Just make sure to taste it—don't worry, I won't tell anyone if you sneak a bite!
03 -
Now, take the pizza dough and roll it out on a floured surface. I’ve learned that a little flour goes a long way here to avoid sticky situations (pun intended)! Cut the dough into squares—don’t stress about the size too much; they can be as big or small as you like. Just try to make them even-ish.
04 -
Time to fill those dough squares with your beefy mixture! Just grab a spoonful and place it in the center, then fold the dough over and pinch it shut. I’ve had more than one “bomb” explode in the oven because I didn’t seal them properly—so make sure to get a good pinch on those edges!
05 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the bombs seam-side down on a baking sheet. Bake for about 15-20 minutes until they’re golden brown and make your kitchen smell divine! Warning: the cheese will get oozy, so maybe don’t wear your favorite shirt while you check on them—just saying!
06 -
Let them cool for a few minutes (if you can wait!), then serve with your favorite dipping sauce. I’m a big fan of BBQ or ranch. Honestly, they’re best served fresh, but if you have leftovers, they’re still pretty fantastic the next day. Just don’t microwave them; trust me, I learned that the hard way!
# Notes:
01 -
If you overfill the bombs, they’ll explode in the oven-just like mine did that one time! A great tip is to put some cheese in the middle for that extra melty goodness. Don’t skip letting them cool a bit before diving in; you’ll save your mouth from a cheesy disaster!
