Storage Tips
Allow leftovers to cool to room temperature then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage freeze cooked or uncooked bacon bombs in a single layer until solid then transfer to freezer bags. Reheat from chilled in a hot oven for about ten minutes to restore the baconâs crispiness.
Ingredient Substitutions
Ground turkey or chicken can be swapped for ground beef if you want a lighter bite. For a spicy twist throw a little chopped jalapeno into the cheese center. Smoked gouda or pepper jack cheese is excellent for changing up the filling. If you have gluten sensitivities choose gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Serving Suggestions
I love these as a hearty main dish with roasted veggies or potato wedges. They also steal the show on a snack platter at parties with extra BBQ sauce for dipping. Try serving them sliced with toothpicks for a fuss-free appetizer display.
