Ingredients
Scale
Beef Filling
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cheese Mixture
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Biscuit Bombs
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) ensuring it reaches the proper temperature for baking the biscuit bombs evenly.
- Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, stirring occasionally to break it apart. Continue cooking until fully browned, about 6-8 minutes.
- Season Beef: Drain any excess grease from the skillet and return the beef to heat. Mix in garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to blend the spices with the meat.
- Cool Beef Mixture: Remove the skillet from heat and let the beef mixture cool slightly to prevent melting the cheese when combined.
- Mix Cheeses: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and grated Parmesan cheese thoroughly.
- Combine Filling: Add the cooled beef mixture into the cheese blend and stir until the mixture is evenly combined and creamy.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: Open the refrigerated biscuit dough can and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a small, even round disc using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Fill and Seal: Spoon a generous amount of the beef and cheese filling onto the center of each biscuit. Fold and pinch the edges tightly around the filling to form sealed balls.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the filled biscuit bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, spacing them evenly.
- Brush with Butter: Brush the tops of the biscuit bombs with the melted butter to add flavor and promote golden, crispy crusts.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
- Ensure the biscuit edges are tightly sealed to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Serve with dipping sauces like ranch, marinara, or a spicy aioli for extra flavor.
- These bombs can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking; just add a couple more minutes to the baking time if baking cold from the fridge.
- Leftover biscuit bombs can be reheated in the oven for a crispy finish instead of the microwave.
