Servings 8 Bombs

Ingredients
  

  • Ground Beef: 1 pound 80/20 blend for best flavor
  • Garlic: 2 cloves minced (or 1 tsp pre-minced)
  • Parmesan Cheese: ½ cup freshly grated
  • Cheddar Cheese: 1 cup diced small (or shredded)
  • Refrigerated Biscuit Dough: 1 can 16.3 oz, 8-count, flaky layers
  • Butter: 2 tbsp melted
  • Fresh Parsley: 1 tbsp chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

Step 1: Cook the Filling

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and minced garlic.
  • Break up the meat with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes.
  • Tilt the skillet and remove any excess grease for a balanced flavor.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the Parmesan and cheddar cheeses. The Parmesan will melt immediately, while cheddar cubes stay slightly chunky for texture.

Step 2: Assemble the Bombs

  • Open the biscuit can and flatten each biscuit between your palms into a 4-inch circle.
  • Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling onto the center of each biscuit, leaving a ½-inch border.
  • Fold the edges up like a purse and pinch seams tightly to seal. If cracks appear, dab a little water to help the dough stick.

Step 3: Bake to Perfection

  • Place the bombs seam-side down on a baking sheet, leaving space to puff.
  • Brush the tops generously with melted butter.
  • Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow the cheese filling to set.

Air Fryer Method (Faster & Extra Crispy)

  • For a crispier exterior, try the air fryer method:
  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  • Arrange bombs in a single layer and cook for 10–12 minutes.
  • Brush with butter after cooking for a golden finish.

Notes

  • Use an 80/20 ground beef blend for the best balance of flavor and moisture.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan melts better and gives a richer taste than pre-grated powder.
  • Cheddar cubes create gooier cheese pulls than shredded cheddar.
  • Seal the biscuit dough tightly to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
  • If the dough cracks, dab with a little water to help it stick.
  • Let the bombs cool for 5 minutes before serving so the filling sets properly.
