Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 100g), sharp or mild
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (about 16 oz / 454g), flaky buttermilk biscuits preferred
  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (about 50g)
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter (42g)
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until evenly seasoned.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the beef for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart until fully browned. Drain excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Stir shredded cheddar cheese into the warm beef mixture.
  5. Open the biscuit dough can and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch (10 cm) circle about ¼ inch (0.6 cm) thick.
  6. Place about 2 tablespoons (30g) of the beef and cheese mixture in the center of each biscuit. Fold the dough over and pinch edges tightly to seal and form a ball.
  7. In a small bowl, combine grated Parmesan, minced garlic, and melted butter to create the garlic parmesan coating.
  8. Brush each dough ball generously with the garlic butter mixture, then roll or sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese for a crispy crust.
  9. Arrange the bombs on the baking sheet about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  10. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the bombs and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

Do not overfill the biscuit dough to prevent leaking. Pinch edges firmly and chill bombs for 10 minutes before baking if needed. Watch oven closely near the end to avoid burning the Parmesan crust. For gluten-free, substitute biscuit dough accordingly. For vegetarian, swap beef with lentils or plant-based crumbles.
