Scale
- 1 lb ground beef, 85% lean
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8-10 slider buns

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment.
- In a bowl, combine beef, cheddar, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper until just mixed.
- Shape into 6-8 bombs, sealing cheese inside.
- Place bombs on the sheet pan and bake 12–15 minutes until browned and cheese is melted.
- Toast buns if desired, then sandwich each bomb into a bun and serve with toppings.

- For faster assembly, portion and chill bombs briefly before baking.
- Switch cheddar for pepper jack for extra heat.
