Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
- 4 slices cheddar cheese (cut into smaller squares)
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
Ingredient Notes & Swaps
- Ground Beef: Use 80/20 for the juiciest flavor or swap in ground turkey for a leaner option.
- Cheddar Cheese: Sharp cheddar melts beautifully, but mozzarella or pepper jack work too.
- Biscuit Dough: Crescent dough or pizza dough also works well if you prefer a different texture.
- Garlic Butter: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter for extra heat.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare filling: In a bowl, mix together the ground beef, 1/4 cup Parmesan, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Form bombs: Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch round. Add a spoonful of beef mixture and a square of cheddar cheese in the center. Fold the dough over and pinch to seal into a ball.
- Arrange: Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Make butter topping: Mix melted butter with 1/4 cup Parmesan and chopped parsley.
- Brush & bake: Brush bombs with butter mixture and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve hot, optionally brushing with more butter and a sprinkle of extra Parmesan.
Tips for Success
- Don’t overfill: A little filling goes a long way—overstuffing can cause leakage.
- Seal well: Pinch the dough edges firmly to prevent them from opening during baking.
- Want a crispier crust? Bake an extra 2–3 minutes or broil briefly.
- Make ahead: Assemble and refrigerate unbaked bombs up to 24 hours in advance.
