Ingredients You'll Need

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 20–30 minutes
Total time: About 45 minutes

The 4 Ingredients

1. 12 slices of bacon – Thin or regular-cut bacon works well and is easier to wrap around the filling.
2. 8 ounces cream cheese, softened – Creates a smooth, creamy center.
3. 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese – Adds a bold, cheesy flavor.
4. 1 teaspoon smoked paprika – Gives the filling a warm, smoky taste.

Optional: Black pepper, chopped green onions, or a pinch of garlic powder can add extra flavor, but these are not included in the four-ingredient base recipe.

How to Make Low Carb Bacon Beaumont Bombs

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place an oven-safe wire rack on top if you have one. The rack helps the bacon cook more evenly as the fat drains away.

Step 2: Make the Cheesy Filling

In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and smoked paprika. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.

The filling should be thick enough to shape into small portions. If it feels too soft, refrigerate it for about 10–15 minutes.

Step 3: Shape the Bombs

Divide the cheese mixture into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small ball.

Cut the bacon slices in half crosswise if needed, then wrap enough bacon around each cheese ball to cover it. Secure the bacon with toothpicks if necessary, and place the bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking rack.

Step 4: Bake Until the Bacon Is Cooked

Bake for approximately 20–30 minutes, depending on the thickness of your bacon and the size of the bombs. Turn them carefully if needed for more even browning.

The bacon should be fully cooked and nicely browned. If you want extra crispness, broil briefly at the end, watching closely to prevent burning.

Step 5: Rest and Serve

Let the bombs rest for 5 minutes before serving. The filling will be very hot straight from the oven, so allow it to cool slightly.

Serve warm for the best combination of crisp bacon and creamy cheese.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use softened cream cheese: It blends more easily with the cheddar and paprika.
• Choose bacon that wraps easily: Very thick slices can be difficult to secure around small cheese balls.
• Chill before wrapping: If the cheese mixture is sticky, a short chill makes shaping easier.
• Avoid overcrowding the pan: Leave space between each bomb so the bacon can brown.
• Check doneness carefully: Bacon thickness and oven performance vary, so use appearance and doneness rather than time alone.
• Handle grease safely: Bacon fat can be very hot. Allow the pan to cool before disposing of it.

Easy Variations

Spicy Bacon Beaumont Bombs

Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture. These optional additions make the bites warmer and spicier.

Jalapeño Cheddar Bombs

Mix finely diced jalapeño into the filling for a spicy, tangy flavor. Pat the jalapeño dry first to avoid adding excess moisture.

Garlic Cheddar Bombs

Add garlic powder for a savory flavor that pairs beautifully with bacon and cheddar.

Different Cheese Options

Try Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or a cheddar-Monterey Jack blend. Check labels if you are following a strict low-carb plan, since carbohydrate amounts vary by brand.

What to Serve With Bacon Beaumont Bombs

These bites are rich and savory, so they pair well with fresh, crisp sides.

• Cucumber slices and celery sticks
• A simple green salad
• Roasted broccoli or cauliflower
• Deviled eggs
• Sugar-free ranch dip
• Other low-carb appetizers for a party platter

They are also delicious alongside scrambled eggs for a hearty breakfast or brunch spread.

Are Bacon Beaumont Bombs Keto-Friendly?

They can fit into many low-carb or ketogenic eating plans because the main ingredients—bacon, cream cheese, cheddar, and smoked paprika—are generally low in carbohydrates.

However, the exact carbohydrate count depends on the brands and quantities used. For the most accurate result, check the nutrition labels on your bacon, cream cheese, and shredded cheese, then calculate the total for your batch and divide by the number of servings.

Storage and Reheating

Refrigerator: Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.

Reheating: Reheat in a 350°F oven or air fryer until hot throughout. An oven or air fryer helps the bacon regain some crispness. Microwave reheating is possible, but the bacon may become softer.

Freezing: You can freeze the cooked bombs in a freezer-safe container, although the cream cheese filling may change texture slightly after thawing. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat until hot throughout.

Do not leave the cooked bombs at room temperature for more than 2 hours, or 1 hour when temperatures exceed 90°F.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make Bacon Beaumont Bombs ahead of time?

Yes. You can prepare and shape the cheese balls, wrap them in bacon, and refrigerate them covered until you are ready to bake. For best food safety and quality, cook them within 1–2 days and keep them refrigerated.

Can I cook these in an air fryer?

Yes, provided your air fryer has enough room for the bombs without overcrowding. Cook in a single layer and check frequently, because air fryers vary in temperature and cooking speed. Make sure the bacon is fully cooked before serving.

How do I keep the cheese filling from leaking?

Soften the cream cheese enough to mix, but chill the shaped balls before wrapping if the filling feels loose. Wrap the bacon snugly and place each bomb seam-side down. A little melted cheese is normal.

Are these bombs gluten-free?

The four main ingredients are typically gluten-free, but ingredients and manufacturing practices vary. Check each package label, especially if you need to avoid gluten strictly.

How many carbs are in each serving?

The exact amount depends on the brands used and the size of each bomb. Calculate the total carbohydrates from your ingredient labels and divide by 12 for an approximate per-bomb value.
