Description

Cheeseburger Pretzel Bombs are the perfect combination of savory ground beef, melty cheese, and soft pretzel dough, creating a delicious, bite-sized snack ideal for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp butter, melted
  • Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  • Cook the Beef: In a skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat, then stir in ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
  • Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface. Cut it into small squares, about 2x2 inches.
  • Assemble the Bombs: Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each dough square. Top with a small amount of shredded cheese. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal.
  • Bake: Place the pretzel bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Serve: Serve warm with extra mustard or ketchup for dipping.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead: You can assemble the pretzel bombs ahead of time and refrigerate them until ready to bake.
  • Cheese Options: Feel free to swap the cheddar cheese for American, mozzarella, or a cheese blend for different flavors.
  • Serving Suggestions: These are great as an appetizer, party snack, or served with fries for a fun meal.
