Listen, they don’t want you to eat a ball of meat and cheese the size of a baseball, but you have to ignore those haters and achieve your dreams. Through hard work and a lack of self restraint we can all live a glorious life of unadulterated gluttony. That’s what this recipe is about.
I keep asking myself, Max, when are you going to get your sh*t together and start caring about what you put in your body? Apparently not today.
Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs
- Prep Time:15 minutes
- Cook Time:30 minutes
- Total Time:45 minutes
- Servings:Four
- Easy
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 egg
- 4 oz cheese
- 4 small yellow onions
- 8 strips of bacon
- BBQ sauce
Ingredients
-
Step 1
Mix the beef with the breadcrumbs, seasonings, and egg using your hands until you have a sticky, workable mixture.
-
Step 2
Cut the cheese into four equal sized cubes.
-
Step 3
Cut the onions in half and then cut off the ends. Peel and then remove the large outer layers from each of them. Save the leftover onions for another meal.
-
Step 4
Take about a fourth of the beef mixture and form it into a ball with your hands. Press a cheese cube into the ball and wrap the meat around it to form a larger, cheese stuffed meatball.
-
Step 5
Place the meatballs inside the two halves of each onion. They should resemble four really weird looking pokeballs.
-
Step 6
Wrap each onion/meatball with two strips of bacon and use toothpicks or meat skewers to hold them together.
-
Step 7
Place them on a foil lined sheet, making sure there is enough of an edge to trap grease, and bake at 350°F for at least 40 minutes or until the meat registers 150 degrees internal temperature.
-
Step 8
Serve accompanied with bbq sauce. You can drizzle it on there, serve it on the side, or baste it half way through the cooking process or at the end.

Step 9
Enjoy your monstrous creation. Attempt to eat two whole bombs in one sitting (as I did) and then reward your valiance with a much deserved nap.
