Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package biscuit or pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, which should take about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally and ensure it’s cooked through, with no pink remaining. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the beef and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. You’ll know it’s ready when the aroma fills your kitchen, but be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the beef mixture cool for about 5 minutes. This prevents the dough from getting soggy when you assemble the bombs.
- While the beef cools, roll out the biscuit or pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into 3-inch squares. Aim for even sizes to ensure uniform cooking.
- Place a spoonful of the cooled beef and cheese mixture onto the center of each dough square—about a tablespoon should suffice. Don’t overfill, as this can cause them to burst.
- Carefully fold the corners of the dough over the filling and pinch them together to seal, forming a smooth ball. Make sure there are no gaps for the filling to escape.
- Arrange the sealed balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. This helps them hold their shape during baking.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and minced garlic together. Brush this mixture over each dough ball, ensuring an even coating for that gorgeous golden color.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley over the tops. This adds flavor and a touch of color.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown. Keep an eye on them—remove them when they’re beautifully browned but not burnt.
- Allow the bombs to cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the filling set slightly, making them easier to eat.

Keywords: Don’t skip the cooling step after cooking the beef. This prevents the dough from becoming soggy and ensures a crispy exterior. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter for cutting the dough into squares for clean edges. Experiment with the cheese! While cheddar is a classic choice, adding a bit of cream cheese can enhance creaminess, or try pepper jack for a spicy kick.
