Do I have to pan-fry the meatballs first?

Technically, no—you could skip pan-frying. But giving your meatballs a quick sear before wrapping helps lock in the juices, hold the shape, and prevents the cheese from leaking during baking. It’s a small step that makes a big difference in the final texture and flavor of your bombs.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, Big Mac Cheeseburger Bombs are perfect for prepping in advance . You can fully assemble them (minus the egg wash and sesame seeds) and store them covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to bake, just brush with the egg, sprinkle the sesame seeds, and pop them in the oven. You can also freeze them unbaked and bake directly from frozen with a slight increase in cooking time.

Instructions

Thaw roll dough according to package instructions.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, onion powder, garlic salt, salt, black pepper, minced onion, and chopped pickles.
Divide the meat mixture into 24 equal portions. Slice cheese into 24 small cubes (about ½-inch).
Flatten each meat portion into a small circle, place a cheese cube in the center, and form a meatball around the cheese.
Quickly brown the meatballs in a skillet on all sides (do not cook through). Toss gently to help maintain shape and prevent cheese from leaking.
Flatten each thawed dinner roll into a circle slightly larger than the meatball. Wrap dough around each meatball and seal the bottom.
Place each dough-wrapped ball seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops and sides with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve warm with Big Mac sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Use freshly grated onion for better moisture and flavor infusion.
Don’t overcook the beef during the browning step—this ensures juicy centers.
For a spicier version, add jalapeños or pepper jack cheese.
Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
