They come together fast, use simple ingredients, and can be customized to your liking. Whether you’re hosting a party or just need something the whole family will devour, these bombs deliver.
Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
For the Dough:
- 1 (16 oz / 450 g) can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
For the Cheese:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
For the Topping:
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cook the Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally and cook until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.
2. Prepare the Biscuit Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Separate the biscuits and gently flatten each one into a 4- to 5-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
3. Assemble the Bombs
Spoon about a tablespoon of the cooked beef mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit. Top with a generous pinch of shredded cheese. Fold the dough up and around the filling, pinching the seams to seal completely.
4. Add Toppings
Place the sealed bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Mix the melted butter with garlic powder and brush it over each bomb. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
5. Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Garnish and Serve
Let the bombs cool slightly before garnishing with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces—ranch, ketchup, or a zesty aioli are all great choices!
Serving Ideas
- Serve with crispy fries or a simple side salad for a full meal.
- Make them mini-sized and serve with toothpicks as an appetizer.
- Offer a variety of dipping sauces to elevate your snack game.
Recipe Variations
- Change the Meat: Ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based crumbles work great.
- Add Fillings: Toss in chopped pickles, sautéed onions, or cooked bacon for extra flavor.
- Spice It Up: Add a dash of hot sauce to the beef or sprinkle red pepper flakes on top before baking.
Storage & Reheating
- Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Warm in the microwave for 30 seconds or reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes.
- Freeze: Wrap unbaked bombs and freeze. When ready to enjoy, bake from frozen and add 5–7 extra minutes to the cooking time.
FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! You can assemble them a few hours in advance and keep them refrigerated until ready to bake.

Try mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack for a spicy kick. Even a slice of melty processed cheese works well.

Absolutely! Homemade biscuit or pizza dough works perfectly if you want to skip the store-bought can.
