Kitchen Tools You’ll Need
- Large skillet
- Baking sheet lined with parchment paper
- Pastry brush
- Small microwave-safe bowl (for melting butter)
Ingredients
- 1 lb Lean Ground Beef
- 1/2 cup Yellow Onion (finely diced)
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
- 1 can (16 oz) Refrigerated Biscuit Dough (8 count)
- 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter (melted)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated)
- 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (finely chopped)
Preparation
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and diced onion. Drain any excess fat. Season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until just melted, then remove from heat.
- Flatten the Dough: Separate the biscuit dough into 8 pieces. Flatten each piece into a 4-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Stuff and Seal: Spoon a generous tablespoon of the cheesy beef mixture into the center of each dough circle. Gather the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch firmly to seal.
- Bake the Bombs: Place the stuffed bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.
- The Garlic Parmesan Finish: While baking, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, and chopped parsley. Immediately brush this mixture generously over the hot biscuit bombs straight out of the oven. Serve warm!
Chef’s Pro Tips for Perfect Results
Seal Tightly: Make sure to pinch the dough edges completely shut and bake them seam-side down. This prevents the melted cheese and beef juices from leaking out and burning on the pan.
