Ingredients
For the Filling
- 1 lb (450 g) 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 blend)
For the Dough
- 1 (16 oz / 450 g) can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 large biscuits) or homemade dough
Garlic Butter Topping
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Beef Filling
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is fully browned, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease for a lighter filling.
Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the shredded cheese until melted and evenly combined. Allow the filling to cool for a few minutes before assembling.
Chef’s Tip: Letting the filling cool slightly makes the dough easier to seal and helps prevent leaks during baking.
2. Assemble the Biscuit Bombs
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Flatten each biscuit into a 4 to 5-inch circle. Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center of each piece of dough.
Carefully pull the edges over the filling and pinch them together tightly to seal completely. Place each biscuit bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Make the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried parsley.
Brush each biscuit generously with the garlic butter mixture, making sure to coat the tops evenly for maximum flavor and a beautiful golden finish.
4. Bake
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the biscuit bombs are puffed and deep golden brown.
For an extra buttery finish, brush the warm biscuit bombs with another light coat of garlic butter immediately after they come out of the oven.
Serving Suggestions
These cheesy beef biscuit bombs are delicious on their own, but they’re even better served with:
- Marinara sauce
- Ranch dressing
- Garlic aioli
- Spicy cheese sauce
- Honey mustard
- Barbecue sauce
Pair them with a fresh garden salad, crispy fries, roasted vegetables, or coleslaw for a complete meal.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a 350°F oven or air fryer for a few minutes until warmed through and crispy. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it softens the biscuit exterior.
