Ingredients
For the Filling:
-
1 pound ground beef
-
1 small onion, finely diced
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
For the Dough:
-
1 can (16 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
For the Garlic Butter Topping:
-
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
-
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Cook the Beef Mixture:
-
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Add the ground beef and diced onion, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
-
Cook until the beef is no longer pink and the onion is tender—about 6–8 minutes.
-
Drain excess grease.
-
Stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
-
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for 5–10 minutes.
3. Add the Cheese:
-
Once cooled slightly, stir in shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.
-
The cheese should melt slightly from the residual heat, helping everything bind together.
4. Prepare the Biscuits:
-
Separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits.
-
Flatten each biscuit into a 4-5 inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
-
Place 1–2 tablespoons of the beef-cheese mixture into the center of each circle.
5. Seal the Bombs:
-
Carefully pull the edges of the dough up and over the filling.
-
Pinch to seal tightly and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
-
Repeat for all biscuits.
6. Make the Garlic Butter:
-
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
7. Brush and Sprinkle:
-
Brush each bomb generously with the garlic butter mixture.
-
Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for a savory crunch.
8. Bake:
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 14–18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
-
If the tops are browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
9. Serve:
-
Let cool slightly.
-
Serve warm with dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, honey mustard, or a spicy aioli.
Notes
-
Prep Ahead: You can make the filling up to 2 days in advance and store it in the fridge.
-
Assemble & Refrigerate: Prepare and fill the bombs, then refrigerate on a tray covered with plastic wrap up to 12 hours ahead.
-
Freeze for Later: After baking, let cool and freeze in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F until warmed through.
