Ingredients
- 1 lb smoked brisket, shredded or chopped
- 1 cup beer cheese dip (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- ¼ cup baking soda
- 2 cups warm water
- Coarse salt, for topping
- Melted butter, for brushing
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep the Filling
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, mix together the shredded smoked brisket and beer cheese until well combined.
2. Stuff the Bombs
Roll out each biscuit on a lightly floured surface.
Spoon a generous amount of the brisket-cheese filling into the center.
Wrap the dough around the filling and pinch the seams to seal, forming a ball.
3. Pretzel Bath
In another bowl, dissolve the baking soda in warm water.
Dip each filled dough ball into the mixture briefly, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Bake
Sprinkle with coarse salt and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
5. Finish & Serve
Brush each bomb with melted butter right out of the oven for that perfect glossy finish.
Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, smoky goodness in every bite!
