Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 1 pound (0.45 kilograms) ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Cheese:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) Parmesan cheese, diced
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) cheddar cheese, cubed
Dough and Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 can (16.3 ounces / 462 grams) biscuit dough
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F, preparing a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a skillet, cook ground beef with minced garlic over medium heat, breaking meat into small crumbles until fully browned. Drain excess fat thoroughly.
- Combine the cooked beef with shredded Parmesan and cheddar cheeses, mixing until evenly distributed.
- Gently flatten each biscuit dough into a circular shape, creating a wide surface for filling.
- Place a generous spoonful of the cheese-beef mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit.
- Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit over the filling, pinching and sealing completely to prevent leakage during baking.
- Arrange the sealed bombs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
- Brush the surface of each bomb with melted butter for a golden, crispy exterior.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown color.
- Let them cool for 3–5 minutes so the filling can set.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve warm as a delightful appetizer or hearty snack.
Notes
- Customize cheese selection by swapping cheddar with mozzarella or Swiss for varied flavor profiles.
- Ensure complete sealing of biscuit edges to prevent cheese leakage during baking, using fork edges to crimp.
- Add extra protein by incorporating cooked bacon bits or diced jalapeños into the beef mixture for more texture and kick.
- Transform into gluten-free option by using almond flour biscuit dough or low-carb lettuce wraps instead of traditional biscuits.
