Steps:

Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Cut each biscuit in half; press with hands into circle about 3 inches in diameter. In center of each biscuit round, place 2 tablespoons cooked ground beef (or 1 meatball) and 1 cube of cheese. Wrap dough to completely enclose beef and cheese; pinch seams to seal. Fried Version: Wrap each stuffed âbombâ with 1 bacon slice; gently secure loose bacon with toothpick by inserting it through bacon and halfway into âbomb.â In 3-quart heavy saucepan or deep fryer, heat oil to 350Â°F. Fry stuffed âbombsâ 4 to 5 minutes or until dough is golden brown on all sides. Place on paper towels to cool. Repeat with remaining "bombs". Serve warm with ketchup and mustard, if desired. Baked Version: Heat oven to 400Â°F. Place bacon on foil-lined cookie sheet with sides. Bake about 8 minutes to partially cook bacon.
