Imagine golden pizza dough bites stuffed with juicy taco-seasoned beef, gooey melted cheese, fresh veggies, and topped with a creamy queso drizzle.

Ingredients:

1 package refrigerated pizza dough
1 lb (450g) ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup diced tomatoes
½ cup diced onions
½ cup sliced black olives
¼ cup sliced jalapeños (optional for heat)
1 cup warm queso cheese sauce
Fresh cilantro for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Cook the Beef

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked.
Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning with a little water (as directed on the package). Simmer until the beef absorbs the seasoning and is rich in flavor.

2. Prepare the Dough

Lightly flour your surface.
Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a thin sheet.
Cut into 4-inch squares (about palm-size).

3. Assemble the Pizza Bombs

Place 1 spoonful of seasoned beef in the center of each dough square.
Add a mix of cheddar, mozzarella, diced tomatoes, onions, olives, and jalapeños.
Fold the dough edges upward and pinch tightly to seal, forming little balls (pizza bombs).

4. Bake

Arrange the bombs seam-side down on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown.

5. Add the Queso Drizzle

Warm your queso cheese sauce until smooth and pourable.
Drizzle generously over the baked pizza bombs.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of color and freshness.

Serving Ideas:

Serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for dipping.
Perfect for game nights, parties, potlucks, or as a fun family dinner.
Pair with nachos or a fresh salad to make it a full meal.

Pro Tips for Perfect Pizza Bombs:

Make-Ahead Friendly: Assemble the bombs ahead of time and refrigerate until baking.
Freezer Option: Freeze unbaked bombs on a tray, then store in a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen—just add 5 extra minutes to the bake time.
Cheese Lovers’ Hack: Mix cheddar + mozzarella + Monterey Jack for extra gooeyness.
Customize the Filling: Swap beef for ground chicken, turkey, or even vegetarian beans.
