ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 lb ground beef (80/20 for best flavor)
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
2 tbsp melted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

directions

I preheat my oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, I cook the ground beef until browned and drain off the fat.
I season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce, then let it cool slightly.
Once it’s cooled a bit, I mix in the shredded cheddar cheese.
I flatten each biscuit into about a 3-inch circle.
I add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture to the center and fold the dough around it, pinching to seal.
I place each sealed bomb seam-side down on the baking sheet.
I mix melted butter with minced garlic and brush the tops of each bomb.
I sprinkle Parmesan cheese over each one.
I bake them for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown.
After baking, I sometimes brush them with more garlic butter and top with fresh parsley.

Variations

I swap cheddar for mozzarella or pepper jack if I want a different cheese flavor.
I use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option.
I like adding chopped pickles or caramelized onions to the filling for extra flavor.
I add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes if I’m in the mood for some heat.
I serve them with dips like ranch, spicy mayo, or garlic aioli to mix things up.

storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To freeze them, I let them cool, then freeze in a single layer before placing in a bag—they keep well for up to 3 months. I reheat them in a 350°F oven or in the air fryer to keep the dough crisp and the filling warm.

FAQs

How do I keep the cheese from leaking out?

I make sure the dough is sealed well around the filling, and I always place them seam-side down on the baking sheet.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, I often assemble them a few hours ahead and refrigerate. I can also freeze them before baking—just bake from frozen and add a few extra minutes.

What kind of dough should I use?

Refrigerated biscuit dough works great. I prefer the buttermilk or flaky layers version because they bake up soft and fluffy.

Can I make these vegetarian?

Definitely. I swap the beef with sautéed mushrooms and onions or a plant-based meat substitute to keep them meat-free.

What dipping sauces go well with these?

I like serving them with ranch, garlic aioli, spicy mayo, or even marinara for a fun flavor twist.
