Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Cheese:
- 1 pound (450 grams) ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cubed cheese for gooey centers)
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
Seasonings and Aromatics:
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Dough and Topping:
- 1 can (16 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium temperature and sauté ground beef with diced onions until meat turns completely brown and onions become translucent. Eliminate excess fat from the pan.
- Enhance the meat mixture with garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Allow the blend to cool momentarily while maintaining its warmth.
- Activate the oven to 375°F and prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently flatten each refrigerated biscuit into a circular shape approximately 4 inches wide.
- Distribute a generous spoonful of seasoned beef at the center of each dough circle. Position a cheese cube or sprinkle shredded cheese directly atop the meat filling.
- Carefully encase the filling by folding dough edges inward, meticulously sealing the perimeter to prevent leakage. Position each bomb seam-side downward on the prepared baking sheet.
- Craft a butter glaze by combining melted butter with garlic powder. Liberally brush the exterior of each bomb with the aromatic mixture.
- Generously dust the bombs with grated parmesan cheese, ensuring complete coverage for maximum flavor development.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes until the biscuit exterior achieves a rich golden-brown complexion.
- Remove from oven and permit bombs to rest for 5 minutes, allowing internal temperatures to stabilize. Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately alongside preferred dipping sauces such as ketchup, ranch, or aioli for an enhanced culinary experience.
Notes
- Customize meat for dietary needs by swapping ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based alternatives for a leaner or vegetarian version.
- Seal edges completely to prevent cheese leakage, using a fork to crimp edges or pinching tightly with fingers for a secure closure.
- Experiment with cheese varieties like cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack to create different flavor profiles and add exciting taste dimensions.
- Prepare ahead by assembling bombs and refrigerating before baking, which allows flavors to meld and makes meal prep more convenient for busy schedules.
