  • Author: Jessica

Ingredients

Scale

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 powdersalt, 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 butterminced 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 ketchupranchhoney 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.
