How to Make Cheesy Beef Biscuit Bombs

These cheesy beef biscuit bombs are easy to assemble and even easier to eat. Here’s how to make them in a few simple steps.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat and prep:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Cook the beef filling:
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Drain excess fat if needed. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the shredded cheese and remove from heat.

3. Flatten the biscuits:
Separate the biscuit dough and flatten each piece into a 4–5 inch round using your hands or a rolling pin.

4. Fill and seal:
Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef and cheese mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit. Fold the edges up and pinch them tightly together to seal. Roll gently in your hands to form a ball.

5. Bake:
Place the biscuit bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 13–16 minutes, or until golden brown.

6. Brush and serve:
In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder and parsley. Brush over the tops of the hot biscuit bombs for extra flavor. Serve warm with ketchup, marinara, or ranch for dipping.

HELPFUL TIPS:

• Seal tightly: Make sure the biscuit dough is well sealed to keep the filling inside.
• Switch it up: Add diced jalapeños, sautéed onions, or bell peppers to the beef for more flavor.
• Cheese choices: Sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or mozzarella all work great.
• Dipping sauces: Ranch, spicy mayo, or barbecue sauce take them to the next level.
