Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein and Cheese:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
- 1 cup (113 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Dough and Seasoning:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon parsley (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Binding and Finishing:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare a preheated oven at 375F (190C) to ensure optimal cooking temperature.
- In a skillet, thoroughly cook ground beef, carefully seasoning with salt and pepper. Completely drain any excess fat to prevent sogginess.
- Incorporate shredded cheddar cheese into the cooked beef mixture, allowing it to cool slightly for easier handling.
- Gently flatten each biscuit dough, creating a wide surface. Carefully place a generous spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center of each dough circle.
- Carefully fold the dough edges over the filling, creating a complete seal to prevent leakage during baking.
- Arrange the filled dough bombs with the sealed side facing downward on a clean baking sheet.
- Create a flavorful topping by combining melted butter with finely minced garlic. Generously brush this mixture over the surface of each bomb.
- Sprinkle a liberal amount of Parmesan cheese across the top of each prepared bomb, ensuring even coverage.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown color that indicates perfect doneness.
- Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Experiment with lean ground beef or turkey to reduce fat content while maintaining delicious flavor.
- Create vegetarian versions by substituting meat with black beans, lentils, or plant-based crumbles for protein-rich alternatives.
- Prevent filling from leaking by ensuring biscuit edges are completely sealed and pressed firmly when folding.
- Make ahead and freeze unbaked bombs for convenient meal prep, storing in airtight containers up to 2 months.
