→ 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 black pepper
06 - 1/3 cup finely minced or grated white onion
07 - 1/3 cup dill pickles, finely chopped
08 - 1/2 pound block of American cheese
09 - 1 package (24 pieces) frozen dinner rolls
10 - 1 large egg, beaten
11 - Sesame seeds for garnish

# Steps:

01 - Thaw roll dough according to package instructions.
02 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion powder, garlic salt, salt, pepper, minced onion, and dill pickles.
04 - Divide the meat mixture into 24 sections. Slice the cheese into 24 chunks (approximately 1/2 inch square). Form a flat circle with each meat section, place a chunk of cheese in the center, and roll the meat up around the cheese to form a ball.
05 - Place the cheese-stuffed meat balls in a large skillet and brown them briefly on each side, maintaining their shape. Do not cook through.
06 - On a lightly floured surface, roll out one ball of thawed dough into a circle slightly larger than the meat ball. Place the meat ball in the center and wrap the dough around it, pinching the bottom to seal. Place on the prepared sheet pan.
07 - Brush the tops and sides of the bombs with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
08 - Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
09 - Serve immediately with Big Mac special sauce or your preferred dipping sauce.

# Notes and Tips:

01 - Pan-frying the stuffed meat balls helps seal the cheese, provides additional flavor, and avoids soggy bread.
02 - Minced onions and chopped pickles should be finely prepped to ensure proper cooking and formation of meatballs.
03 - American cheese adds the authentic Big Mac flavor, but mild or medium cheddar works as an alternative.
