Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 slices of bacon
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Bacon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay the bacon slices flat on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, just until they begin to crisp but are still flexible. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
- Make the Meat Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Assemble the Bacon Bombs: Take a small handful of the seasoned ground beef mixture and flatten it out into a patty. Place a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese in the center, then carefully wrap the beef around the cheese to form a ball. Wrap each ball with a slice of partially cooked bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks.
- Cook the Bacon Bombs: Place the bacon-wrapped beef balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each bacon bomb generously with BBQ sauce. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the beef is fully cooked.
- Serve: Serve your Cheddar-Stuffed BBQ Bacon Bombs hot with extra BBQ sauce for dipping. Enjoy the juicy, cheesy goodness in every bite!
