Best ways to enjoy it
For serving suggestions, try presenting your burger bombs on a rustic wooden board, paired with a small bowl of ranch dressing for dipping. They also pair beautifully with crispy potato wedges or a fresh garden salad drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette. If you’re feeling adventurous, consider adding a drizzle of sriracha or hot sauce to the ranch for some extra zing!
Storage and reheating tips
Leftovers? No problem! To keep your Crispy Bacon Ranch Triple Cheese Burger Bombs fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, reheat in an oven set to 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. If you want to freeze them, wrapping the unbaked balls in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer bag will keep them good for up to 3 months. Just bake them straight from the freezer—no thawing needed!
Helpful cooking tips
- For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or chopped herbs to the beef and cheese mixture.
- If you want a crunchy touch, sprinkle panko breadcrumbs over the top of the biscuit balls before baking.
- Ensure the biscuit dough is well-sealed around the filling to avoid any leakage during baking.
Creative twists
Feel free to get creative! Swap out ground beef for ground turkey or even plant-based meat alternatives for a lighter version. You can also add jalapeños for a spicy kick or try different kinds of cheese to customize the flavor. Experimenting with the ranch dressing could lead to exciting variations; think spicy ranch or buttermilk ranch for a different twist!
