Instructions
1-First: preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2-Next: cook 8 oz of bacon until crispy, then chop into bite-sized pieces; for vegan or low-calorie options, use plant-based or turkey bacon alternatives and prepare similarly.
3-In a mixing bowl, combine chopped bacon, 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1 cup barbecue sauce, and 1 tbsp garlic powder, mixing thoroughly to blend flavors.
4-Roll out the biscuit dough on a clean surface, then cut into equally sized squares or circles as per your biscuit doughβs shape.
5-Place a spoonful of the bacon-cheddar mixture in the center of each dough piece, then fold or roll the dough to completely enclose the filling, sealing edges securely.
6-Arrange the filled dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them to allow expansion during baking, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
7-For gluten-free dough, monitor baking time as it may vary slightly.
8-After baking, remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving; optionally, brush with additional barbecue sauce for extra flavor enhancement.
