Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (80/20 or 90/10 lean)
3–4 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
1/2 cup yellow onion, finely diced (optional)
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt and black pepper to taste (start with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper)
1 (16.3 oz) can refrigerated biscuit dough (flaky layers or homestyle)
6–8 slices cheddar cheese (or 1 cup shredded)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp dried parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. 1. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess grease. Stir in minced garlic, diced onion (if using), Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook 2-3 minutes until onion softens and garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly (10-15 minutes).
2. 2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. 3. Open the can of biscuit dough and separate into individual rounds. Gently press or stretch each round thinner if needed.
4. 4. Lay a biscuit round on the prepared baking sheet. Place one slice of cheddar cheese (or a small handful of shredded cheese) in the center. Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the cooled meat mixture onto the cheese. Top with another small piece of cheese if desired.
5. 5. Pull the edges of the dough up and over the filling and pinch tightly to seal, forming a neat round ball. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining biscuits and filling.
6. 6. Melt the butter and brush over the tops of each bomb. Sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese.
7. 7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Let cool 1-2 minutes before serving. Garnish with dried parsley if desired.
Notes
Cool the meat mixture before assembling to prevent soggy dough and make sealing easier. Don’t overfill; use about 1-2 tablespoons of meat per bomb. Seal dough edges very tightly to prevent cheese leakage. For variations: use ground turkey/chicken or plant-based meat, try different cheeses (provolone, mozzarella, pepper jack), substitute puff pastry or pizza dough for biscuit dough, or add jalapeños, bacon bits, or extra veggies. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes or in air fryer at 325°F for 5-7 minutes. To freeze: flash freeze cooked or unbaked bombs, then transfer to freezer bag; bake frozen unbaked bombs at 375°F for 25-30 minutes.
