Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Dough and Topping
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure a non-stick surface and easy cleanup.
- Cook Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef thoroughly until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease to prevent sogginess in the final product.
- Mix Seasonings and Cheese: Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the cooked beef. Stir in softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar until evenly combined, creating a creamy, flavorful filling. Remove from heat.
- Prepare Dough: Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a circle large enough to encase the filling.
- Fill and Seal: Place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal completely, forming a neat ball.
- Brush Topping: In a small bowl, mix melted butter with grated Parmesan cheese. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of each sealed dough ball to add flavor and promote browning.
- Bake: Arrange the prepared bombs on the lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy on top.
- Serve: Allow the bombs to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for color and a fresh burst of flavor. Enjoy warm for the best experience.
Notes
- Make sure to seal the biscuit dough well to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- Use a toothpick to check if the dough is fully cooked by inserting it into the bomb — it should come out clean.
- You can substitute cheddar with mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
- For added spice, consider adding chopped jalapeños or a dash of cayenne powder into the beef mixture.
- These bombs can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
