Dill Pickle Cheeseburger Mozzarella Bombs – Family Favorite

Can a cheeseburger, a pickle, and a stick of cheese really bring back everything I love about home? That’s exactly what these Dill Pickle Cheeseburger Mozzarella Bombs do. My mom worked long hours but still made magic in the kitchen.

I watched her stretch simple things into comfort. Now I do the same easy dinner recipes for families, quick and cheap meals, and kid-friendly meals on a budget that still feel like care.

Golden Cheeseburger Crunch, Bite After Bite

• It’s my no-fail, tired-on-a-Tuesday meal.
• The one where I open the fridge and pray the ground beef’s still good.
• My mom never made fancy. She made warm. She made real.

The Ingredients Dill Pickle Cheeseburger Mozzarella Bombs

• 8 mozzarella sticks, halved (16 total)
• ½ lb ground beef, cooked and seasoned
• 4 strips turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ cup finely chopped dill pickles
• 1 tbsp dill pickle juice
• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
• 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
• ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried dill
• Optional: fresh parsley or chopped dill

Instructions Dill Pickle Cheeseburger Mozzarella Bombs

Step 1: Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Stuffani’s Tip: I’ve skipped parchment before big mistake. Clean-up becomes a battle I didn’t sign up for. Parchment saves my night and my sponge.

Step 2: Make the filling
In a bowl, stir together the cooked beef, turkey bacon, cheddar, chopped pickles, and a tablespoon of dill pickle juice.

Kitchen Truth: My mom used to say, “A splash of something sharp brings everything alive.” That pickle juice? It’s the heartbeat of these bombs.

Step 3: Flatten and fill the dough
Separate the biscuit dough and flatten each piece into a 3-inch circle.
Scoop a bit of filling in the center, then place a piece of mozzarella on top.

Stuffani’s Memory: My little one loves helping here. She calls it “tucking in the cheese to bed.” Honestly? She’s not wrong.

Step 4: Seal and shape
Wrap the dough around the filling, pinching and folding the edges to seal. Use the beaten egg as glue if needed. Roll gently into a ball.

Stuffani’s Whisper: This step always reminds me how hands make the meal. Don’t rush it. Sealing it tight means cheese where it belongs inside.

Step 5: Butter and bread
Mix panko, garlic powder, and dried dill in a bowl.
Brush each dough ball with melted butter, then roll gently in the breadcrumb mixture.

Stuffani’s Advice: That coating? It’s what makes this bomb bomb. Crunchy. Herby. Golden. Don’t skip the butter it’s what dreams are fried in.

Step 6: Bake or air fry
Place the balls on your baking sheet.
Oven: Bake 13–16 minutes, until golden and puffed.
Air fryer: Cook at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, shaking once.

Stuffani’s Real-Life Note: I’ve done both. Baking gives you cozy. Air frying gives you fast. I reach for whichever saves me from losing my mind.

Step 7: Cool and garnish
Let them rest for a few minutes so the cheese sets. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or dill if you’re feeling fancy.

Stuffani’s Truth: I once served these straight from the pan, standing at the stove with just a napkin. And you know what? That was enough.
