# Ingredients:
→ 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 ground black pepper
06 -
1/3 cup finely minced white onion
07 -
1/3 cup finely chopped dill pickles
08 -
1/2 pound block American cheese
09 -
1 package frozen dinner rolls (24 pieces)
10 -
1 large egg, beaten
11 -
Sesame seeds for garnish
# Instructions:
01 -
Allow frozen dinner roll dough to thaw according to the package instructions until fully 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, combine ground beef, onion powder, garlic salt, salt, ground black pepper, finely minced onion, and chopped dill pickles. Mix thoroughly to distribute seasonings evenly.
04 -
Divide the meat mixture into 24 equal portions. Cut the block of American cheese into 24 cubes, each about 1/2 inch. Flatten each portion of the beef mixture into a circle, place a cheese cube in the middle, and enclose the meat around the cheese to form a sealed ball.
05 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Briefly brown the stuffed meatballs on all sides, turning as needed to develop a light crust while maintaining their shape. Do not cook the meat through.
06 -
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each thawed dinner roll into a circle just large enough to encase a meatball. Position a browned meatball in the center of the dough round, wrap the dough around it, and pinch the seam to seal firmly. Arrange seam side down on the prepared sheet pan.
07 -
Brush each dough-wrapped meatball with beaten egg over the top and sides, then generously sprinkle with sesame seeds.
08 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
09 -
Serve hot with Big Mac-style special sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
# Notes:
01 -
Searing the stuffed meatballs before wrapping enhances the flavor and prevents the bread from becoming soggy.
02 -
Ensure onions and pickles are finely chopped to achieve a consistent texture inside each bomb.
03 -
Authentic flavor is best achieved with American cheese, though cheddar can be used as a substitute.
