Ingredients
Scale
For the filling:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 12 small cubes of cheddar cheese or mozzarella
For the dough:
- 1 (16 oz / 450 g) can refrigerated biscuit dough
For the garlic butter topping:
- 1/4 cup (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Cook the filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onions are softened. Drain any excess grease. Stir in the minced garlic, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Prepare the dough: Separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces. Flatten each piece into a 4-inch circle.
- Assemble the bombs: Place a small spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each dough circle. Add a cube of cheese on top. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching to seal completely. Shape into a smooth ball and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Make the garlic butter topping: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, and parsley.
- Bake: Brush the tops of the dough balls with the garlic butter mixture. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or marinara.
Notes
- For a lighter option, you can use ground turkey or chicken in place of beef.
- Feel free to use your favorite cheese variety, such as provolone or Swiss, for different flavors.
- These bombs can be made ahead and stored in the fridge before baking. Simply bake them when ready to serve.
