Ingredients
Scale
- For the bombs:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count, like Pillsbury Grands)
- For the garlic butter topping:
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley or Italian seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
- Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain fat. Stir in ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let cool slightly.
- Prepare the dough: Separate biscuit dough. Flatten each biscuit into a 4–5 inch round using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Fill the bombs: Add 2 tablespoons of beef mixture and a pinch of shredded cheese to the center of each biscuit. Fold edges up and pinch to seal. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Make garlic butter: In a bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan, and parsley.
- Bake: Brush each bomb with garlic butter. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown.
- Finish and serve: Brush with additional garlic butter if desired. Serve warm with ketchup, ranch, or burger sauce.
Notes
- Add bacon for extra flavor—2 crumbled slices work great.
- Swap beef for ground turkey or chicken if preferred.
- Change up the cheese—mozzarella, gouda, or pepper jack all work.
- Add pickles or jalapeños for extra punch.
- Let filling cool slightly before stuffing to prevent dough tears.
- For crispier bottoms, bake directly on the pan (no liner).
