1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
05 -
1/2 tsp salt
06 -
1/4 tsp black pepper

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cubed cheese for gooey centers)
→ For the Bombs
08 -
1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
09 -
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
10 -
1 tsp garlic powder
11 -
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
12 -
1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
# Let's Cook!:
01 -
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease. Stir in garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
02 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle.
03 -
Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each dough circle, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheese or a cheese cube. Fold the dough around the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
04 -
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush the bombs generously with the butter mixture, then sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
05 -
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through.
06 -
Let the bombs cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce (ketchup, ranch, or aioli).
# Cook's Notes:
01 -
Make sure the edges of the dough are sealed well to prevent the filling from leaking out.
02 -
Experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella, pepper jack, or gouda for variety.
