Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray and set aside. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, gently stir together the mac and cheese and chopped bacon until well combined. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Gently press or roll it into a 15x9 inch rectangle. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to divide the dough into 24 equal squares. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Divide the mac and cheese mixture evenly among the 24 dough squares, placing it in the center of each. Carefully pull the edges of each dough square up and around the mac and cheese mixture, enclosing it completely. Pinch the seams firmly to seal, ensuring no filling escapes during baking. (20 minutes)

05

Step

Place the dough balls seam-side down in the prepared pie plate, arranging them evenly. (5 minutes)

06

Step

In a small bowl, melt the butter. Brush the tops of each dough ball generously with the melted butter. (5 minutes)

07

Step

In a separate small bowl, combine the parsley flakes and garlic powder. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered tops of the dough balls. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the dough is cooked through. (20 minutes)

09

Step

Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve the Bacon Mac and Cheese Bombs warm with a side of ranch dressing for dipping. (5 minutes)

For an extra crispy crust, brush with garlic butter before baking.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses in your mac and cheese – Gruyere, sharp cheddar, or a blend of Italian cheeses would all be delicious.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mac and cheese mixture for a little heat.
Make ahead: Assemble the bombs and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add a few minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
Toppings: Experiment with other toppings such as Parmesan cheese, Everything Bagel seasoning, or a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
