Ingredients
  

Beef Filling
  • 1 pound (450g) ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella/colby mix)
Dough
  • 1 can (16 oz/450g) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 large biscuits)
Topping
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional, for garnish)

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Rolling pin or your hands
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 small finely diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes until soft and translucent. Then add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  2. Add 1 pound ground beef along with 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. Break the meat apart and cook until completely browned with no pink remaining. Drain excess grease and stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese until melted and fully combined. Let the filling cool slightly.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and flatten each biscuit into a disc approximately 4 inches in diameter using your hands or a rolling pin.
  4. Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Carefully fold the dough around the filling and pinch the seams together to seal completely. Arrange the bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
  5. In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup melted unsalted butter with 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Brush this garlic Parmesan topping generously over the tops of each bomb.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and the topping is set. If desired, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon dried parsley for garnish, and allow the bombs to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

These bite-sized bombs are not only quick and easy to make but also offer a customizable base that can accommodate different types of meat or even a plant-based alternative. They are ideal for game day celebrations, family dinners, and gatherings where a fun and savory snack is welcome. For an extra twist, add crispy bacon bits or jalapeños to the filling. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat before serving to enjoy their full flavor.
