Whether you’re trying to please picky kiddos or a big group of grown kids, we’ve got three words for you: bacon cheeseburger bombs. A seasoned ground beef and bacon mixture is wrapped in biscuit dough with cheddar cheese and pickles. The dough’s brushed with egg whites and topped with sesame seeds, then baked to a lightly browned (and dare we say, dynamite) finish.
