Step 1: Cook the Macaroni

Begin by boiling the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions. Drain the macaroni and set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Mix the Cheese Mixture

In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, milk, crumbled bacon, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until the ingredients are well-incorporated and the mixture is creamy and smooth.

Step 3: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s nice and hot for baking the Jalapeño Popper Bacon Mac & Cheese Bombs.

Step 4: Prepare the Biscuit Dough

On a lightly floured surface, flatten each biscuit from the refrigerated dough into a circle about ¼ inch thick.

Step 5: Fill and Shape the Bombs

Spoon a generous amount of the mac and cheese mixture into the center of each biscuit circle. Fold the edges of the biscuit over the filling and pinch to seal, creating a delightful little bomb-shaped treat.

Step 6: Arrange and Spray

Place the filled and sealed Jalapeño Popper Bacon Mac & Cheese Bombs seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to help them achieve a beautiful golden-brown color.

Step 7: Bake to Perfection

Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and irresistibly crispy on the outside.

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

Allow the Jalapeño Popper Bacon Mac & Cheese Bombs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy hot for the best ooey-gooey experience!
