Ingredients
Scale
Beef Filling
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Biscuit
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- Cooking spray (for greasing the baking sheet)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked through.
- Season Beef: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook for 2-3 more minutes to let the spices infuse the beef, then remove from heat.
- Add Cheese: Mix shredded cheddar cheese into the warm beef mixture until it melts and fully combines.
- Prepare Biscuits: Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and separate into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly to prepare for filling.
- Fill Biscuits: Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the cheesy beef mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit.
- Seal Biscuits: Fold the biscuit dough over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal in the filling, forming a bomb shape.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the filled biscuit bombs on the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Let the biscuit bombs cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set and prevent burns.
Notes
- Make sure to seal the biscuit edges properly to avoid filling leakage during baking.
- For extra flavor, you can add chopped onions or bell peppers to the beef mixture while cooking.
- Serve with dipping sauces such as ranch, ketchup, or spicy mustard for added taste.
- These can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
- Use a toothpick to test if the biscuits are cooked thoroughly; it should come out clean.
