Ingredients
  

Filling ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef Choose a lean blend to reduce grease.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese I recommend a sharp cheddar for an extra zing.
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened Let it sit at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder Enhances the flavor of the beef.
  • 1 tsp onion powder Enhances the flavor of the beef.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Adjust for your preference.
Dough ingredients
  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough I love using Pillsbury for its flaky texture.
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Adds a nutty flavor.
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted Room temperature butter works best for brushing.
  • to taste Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) Adds color and freshness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, stirring occasionally until fully cooked (around 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess grease.
  3. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the beef. Mix well, then add cream cheese and shredded cheddar. Cook until everything is combined, then remove from heat.
  4. Open the can of biscuit dough and separate it into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a circle, about 3-4 inches in diameter.
  5. Place a generous spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Carefully fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal.
  6. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with grated Parmesan cheese. Brush the tops of the bombs with this mixture.
  7. Arrange the bombs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Let the bombs cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

For added flavor, mix in a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes into the beef mixture. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3 days, easily reheated in the oven at 350°F (175°C). To freeze, assemble the bombs but skip baking; store in the freezer for up to 3 months, baking directly from frozen (adding 5-7 minutes to the cook time).
