# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 pound ground beef
02 -
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
03 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
04 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
05 -
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
06 -
1/3 cup finely minced or grated white onion
07 -
1/3 cup finely chopped dill pickles
08 -
1/2 pound block American cheese
09 -
1 package frozen dinner rolls (24 count)
10 -
1 large egg, beaten
11 -
Sesame seeds for garnish
# How to Make It:
01 -
Thaw frozen dinner rolls according to package directions until soft and pliable.
02 -
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
03 -
In a large bowl, mix ground beef, onion powder, garlic salt, salt, black pepper, minced onion, and chopped pickles until evenly incorporated.
04 -
Divide meat mixture into 24 equal portions. Cut cheese into 24 cubes approximately 1/2-inch square. Flatten each meat portion into a circle, place a cheese cube in the center, then roll the meat around the cheese to form a sealed ball.
05 -
Lightly brown each cheese-stuffed meatball in a large skillet over medium heat on all sides, taking care to maintain shape without cooking through.
06 -
On a lightly floured surface, roll thawed dough balls into circles slightly larger than meatballs. Place a meatball in the center and wrap dough around it, sealing the bottom by pinching the edges tightly.
07 -
Place wrapped dough bombs onto the prepared sheet pan. Brush the tops and sides with beaten egg and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
08 -
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
09 -
Serve immediately with Big Mac special sauce or preferred dipping accompaniments.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Pan-frying the stuffed meatballs before wrapping seals in the cheese and enhances flavor while preventing soggy dough.
02 -
Finely mince onions and pickle pieces to ensure even cooking and proper meatball formation.
03 -
American cheese provides the authentic flavor, but mild or medium cheddar are good alternatives.
