These quick and easy bacon cheese bombs take stuffed biscuits to a whole new level! A store-bought biscuit gets wrapped around a block of cheddar cheese and chopped bacon then baked to perfection.

4piecesbaconcooked crispy and chopped
¼TBSsalted buttermelted

Tillamook Farm Style Thick Cuts Cheddar Cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Open the can of biscuits and split each biscuit in half so that you have 16 total biscuit pieces.
1 can biscuits
Place one cube of cheese and a sprinkle of bacon pieces in the center of the biscuit.
8 oz Tillamook Sharp Cheddar Cheese, 4 pieces bacon
Then carefully wrap the biscuit around the bacon and cheese, making sure to seal any holes on the outside. Roll this into a ball (or football shape if making footballs).
Brush each of the balls with melted butter then sprinkle the butter lightly with oregano.
1/4 TBS salted butter, oregano
Optional: Add one long thick cut shred across the top of the football and three shorter shreds perpendicular to create football laces.

Place balls on prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the outside of the ball turns a light golden brown.
Let them cool for a few minutes before serving, then enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Make sure to drain the bacon of any bacon grease. If you put greasy bacon (or even not crispy bacon) into the biscuits, the biscuits will soak up the extra liquid and not cook properly.Let them cool for a minute before eating. This actually gives you a better cheese pull (if that’s what you’re going for) and lets you actually taste the flavor rather than them being so hot, they burn your tongue.Store any leftover cheese bombs in the refrigerator for up to three days. Any longer and they’ll just get a little soggy. Reheat them by placing in a cold oven, preheating to 400 degrees, and letting them come to temp with the oven. Remove when they’re warm.
