Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Cook the Beef Filling
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
- Season the beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese until the mixture is well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Prepare the Biscuit Dough
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate it into individual biscuits.
- Flatten each biscuit into a circle, ensuring there’s enough space for the filling.
Assemble the Bombs
- Place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit.
- Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal completely. Roll gently to form a smooth ball.
Add the Garlic Parmesan Topping
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Brush the tops of the assembled bombs with the mixture for added flavor and a golden crust.
Bake the Bombs
- Arrange the bombs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve
Allow the bombs to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.
