Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- Optional: 2 tbsp chopped pickles or jalapeños
- For topping:
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tsp dried parsley)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add ground beef and chopped onion, breaking up the meat. Cook for 5-7 minutes until beef is browned and onions are softened. Drain excess fat.
- Sprinkle in garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine. Remove from heat and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Add shredded cheddar and 1/2 cup parmesan to the cooled beef mixture. Toss gently until evenly coated. Stir in pickles or jalapeños if using.
- Separate biscuits and flatten each into a 4-inch circle using hands or a rolling pin.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of beef mixture into the center of each biscuit. Pull edges up and pinch closed, sealing tightly. Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet.
- Mix 1/4 cup parmesan, 1 tsp garlic powder, and parsley in a small bowl. Brush each bomb with melted butter, then sprinkle generously with topping mix.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown and puffed. If needed, add 2 more minutes for crisp bottoms.
- Let bombs rest for 5 minutes before serving. Use a spatula to transfer to a platter.
Notes
Chill the beef-cheese filling for easier assembly. Don’t overstuff the bombs to prevent splitting. Seal seams tightly and bake on the middle rack for even browning. For gluten-free or dairy-free adaptations, use appropriate dough and cheese substitutes. Leftovers reheat well and taste even richer the next day.
