INGREDIENTS

Here’s everything you need to make these Cheesy Beef Biscuit Bombs nice and simple:

• 1 lb ground beef (450 g)
• 1 teaspoon salt (5 g)
• ½ teaspoon black pepper (2 g)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (3 g)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder (3 g)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (120 g)
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (60 g)
• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits / about 450 g)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter (30 g)
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional, 1 g)

Optional add-ins (for extra flavor):

• ¼ teaspoon chili flakes (0.5 g)
• 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (5 g)
• 1 tablespoon cream cheese (15 g)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it so the biscuit bombs don’t stick.
2. Cook the beef.
   Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
3. Season the filling.
   Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the beef. Stir well and cook for 1 more minute so the flavors blend. Remove from heat and let the beef cool slightly.
4. Prepare the biscuit dough.
   Separate the biscuit dough and gently flatten each biscuit into a 4–5 inch (10–12 cm) circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
5. Fill the biscuit bombs.
   Spoon about 1–2 tablespoons of the beef mixture into the center of each biscuit. Top with a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
6. Seal and shape.
   Carefully pull the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching tightly to seal. Roll gently into a ball with the seam side down.
7. Brush with butter.
   Place the biscuit bombs on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with dried parsley if using.
8. Bake until golden.
   Bake for 15–18 minutes at 375°F (190°C), or until the biscuit bombs turn golden brown and fully cooked through.
9. Cool slightly and serve.
   Let the Cheesy Beef Biscuit Bombs rest for 5 minutes before serving so the cheese sets just enough to stay gooey, not runny.

Cooking tip:
If you want extra crispy bottoms, place the baking sheet on the lower oven rack for the last 3 minutes of baking.

TIPS & VARIATIONS

Cooking tips

• Let the beef cool slightly before filling the biscuits. This helps the dough seal better and prevents leaks.
• Pinch the seams tightly and place them seam-side down so the cheese stays inside while baking.
• Brush the butter generously on top for extra golden, bakery-style results.

Flavor variations

• Swap cheddar for pepper jack cheese for a little heat.
• Use mozzarella only if you prefer a milder, extra-stretchy cheese center.
• Add ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (2 g) to the beef for a deeper, savory flavor.

Ingredient swaps

• Replace ground beef with ground turkey or ground chicken in the same amount if you want a lighter option.
• Use dairy-free shredded cheese to make the recipe dairy-friendly.
• Try canned crescent dough instead of biscuits for a softer, flakier texture.

Storage & make-ahead

• Store leftover Cheesy Beef Biscuit Bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes to keep them crispy.

SERVING IDEAS

Serve these Cheesy Beef Biscuit Bombs warm, right out of the oven, when the cheese is still perfectly gooey and irresistible.

Easy serving ideas

• Pair them with a simple green salad for a quick and satisfying weeknight dinner.
• Serve with a side of marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or garlic butter for dipping.
• Add a bowl of roasted vegetables or crispy fries to turn them into a full meal.

Party & sharing ideas

• Arrange the biscuit bombs on a platter with small dipping bowls in the center for game day or gatherings.
• Keep them warm in a low oven at 200°F (95°C) if you’re serving them buffet-style.
• Sprinkle a little extra parsley or grated cheese on top right before serving for a fresh, bakery-style look.

Occasion-based ideas
