Ingredients
For the Filling
- 1 pound (450g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
For the Dough
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Garlic Butter Topping
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Beef Filling
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Season with Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Step 2: Assemble the Biscuit Bombs
Separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits.
Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit into a circle approximately 4 inches wide.
Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each biscuit. Top with a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese.
Carefully pull the edges of the dough up around the filling and pinch tightly to seal, creating a smooth ball.
Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3: Add the Butter Topping
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley.
Brush each biscuit bomb generously with the garlic butter mixture. This helps create a beautiful golden crust while adding extra flavor.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the biscuit bombs are puffed and golden brown.
The cheese may bubble slightly from the seams, creating delicious crispy edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
