OMG, you guys HAVE to try these Smoked Brisket & Beer Cheese Pretzel Bombs! They’re seriously a game-changer for game night, a party, or honestly, just a Tuesday night craving. The smell alone will make your neighbors jealous! Remember those epic soft pretzels you used to get at the fair? These are like that, but stuffed with all the good stuff.
Imagine biting into that warm, chewy pretzel dough, and then BAM – you hit that gooey, savory beer cheese and smoky brisket. It’s pure happiness. My family devours these SO fast, I always have to make a double batch!
Here’s how I make them:
**What You’ll Need:**
-
1 pound smoked brisket, shredded (leftover from the weekend barbecue is perfect!)
-
* 1 cup of your favorite beer cheese dip (store-bought or homemade)
-
* 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (the big flaky layers kind works great)
-
* 1/4 cup baking soda
-
* 2 cups warm water
-
* Flaky sea salt, for topping
**Let’s Make Some Magic:**
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
2. Grab your biscuit dough. Gently separate the biscuits and flatten each one slightly into a small disc.
-
3. Spoon about a tablespoon of the beer cheese dip and a little bit of the shredded brisket into the center of each biscuit disc.
-
4. Now, carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough up and around the filling, pinching tightly to seal. You want to make sure no deliciousness escapes! Roll them gently into a ball.
-
5. In a shallow bowl, mix the baking soda and warm water. This is your pretzel bath!
-
6. Dip each biscuit ball into the baking soda bath for about 30 seconds, making sure it’s coated.
-
7. Place the coated dough balls onto your prepared baking sheet.
-
8. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until they’re puffed up and golden brown.
-
9. While they’re still warm, sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt.
Serve these bad boys up with extra beer cheese dip for dunking and watch them disappear. Trust me, you’ll be asked to make these again and again! Enjoy!
