Ingredients
Scale
Meat Filling
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Dough & Topping
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8–10 biscuits)
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Cook beef mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until it’s browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat to keep the bombs from becoming greasy.
- Add cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese to the hot beef mixture, allowing it to melt slightly. Let this mixture cool a bit so it’s easier to handle when assembling.
- Prepare biscuit dough: Flatten each biscuit into a circle using your hands or a rolling pin, creating enough space to hold the filling inside.
- Assemble bombs: Spoon a generous amount of the beef and cheese mixture onto the center of each biscuit circle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal completely, forming a ball shape.
- Arrange for baking: Place each sealed bomb seam side down on the prepared baking sheet to help them hold their shape during baking.
- Make garlic parmesan butter: Combine the melted butter, grated parmesan cheese, and dried parsley in a small bowl. Brush this flavorful mixture generously over the tops of each bomb.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Let the bombs cool slightly before serving warm with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or spicy mayo for an irresistible snack or meal.
Notes
- Ensure you fully seal the edges of the biscuit dough to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the beef mixture.
- These bombs can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for a few minutes to refresh crispiness.
- Use low-fat or lean ground beef to reduce fat content if preferred.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
