Equipment

  • 12-count standard size muffin tin
  • skillet
  • spatula
  • slotted spoon
  • tin can (to collect drained grease from the ground beef)
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • spoon

Ingredients

  • 1 tube crescent rolls extra large size
  • ½ lb. 80/20 ground beef seasoned, cooked, and drained.
  • 4 ounces cheddar cubed
  • 8 pickle chips
  • 2 tbsps. minced onion
  • 2 tbsps. ketchup
  • 2 tbsps. mustard
  • 1 tbsp. sesame seeds

Instructions

  • In a skillet on medium-high heat, cook the ground beef with seasonings. (We used salt and pepper.) Make sure to drain any excess grease, and set it aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Prep all the toppings so they are ready to distribute.
  • Unwrap the crescent roll tube and separate the triangles.
  • Add one triangle to each muffin cavity and press it down to make space for filling.
  • Fill each with an even amount of meat, cheese, onion, pickle, and condiments.
  • Fold over the triangle to seal the top. It is okay if there are open spots because the dough will rise and fill them up.
  • Sprinkle each with sesame seeds.
  • Bake for 15-17 minutes. Cheeseburger Bombs will be a deep golden brown color and will feel firm and not doughy when done.

Notes

Nutritional values may vary and are meant to be a guide. 

How to Freeze 

To freeze, allow the cups to fully bake and cool. Once they are cooled, add them to an airtight freezer bag or a vacuum sealer and remove any excess air. Write the date you made them on the bag and the best buy date that is up to 30 days out.

How to Reheat

To reheat, allow cups to thaw and place them in a toaster oven to crisp them up and reheat them throughout. The times may vary so keep an eye on them. Of course, you could also microwave them but they might be a little soggy.
