Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon ketchup or mustard (optional)
For Assembly:
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
For the Garlic Parmesan Butter:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
Prepare the Filling:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
- Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup or mustard if using. Mix until well combined.
Assemble the Bombs:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit.
- Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching them together to seal and form a ball. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent leakage during baking.
- Place the sealed balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Butter:
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake:
- Brush the tops of each dough ball generously with the garlic Parmesan butter mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Serve:
- Remove from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
