Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups canola oil (for frying)
- 2 cans (10-12 biscuits total, ~6 oz each) refrigerated flaky biscuit dough
- 1/2 cup diced purple onion
- 1 cup diced cooked beef steak strips
- 5 oz white cheddar cheese, cut into 10 cubes
- 5 slices bacon, each cut in half crosswise
Instructions
- Heat oil in a deep skillet to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC).
- In a separate skillet over medium heat, sautรฉ the onion until softened. Add beef, season with salt and pepper, cook briefly, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Separate biscuit dough into rounds and flatten each one.
- Place about 1 tablespoon beef-onion mixture onto each round and top with a cheddar cube.
- Gather the dough edges around the filling and pinch to seal completely.
- Wrap each sealed dough ball with one half-slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
- Carefully drop the bombs into the hot oil; fry 4โ5 minutes, turning as needed until bacon is crispy and dough golden.
- Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and serve warm.
Notes
- You can bake them at 400ยฐF for 10โ12 minutes instead of frying; brush with oil before baking.
- Use leftover steak strips or quick-cooked sirloin slices for convenience.
- To keep bacon extra crispy, bake on a rack after frying for a few minutes.
- Serve with dipping sauces like cheese sauce, ketchup, or spicy aioli.
