Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to gather for this delicious dish:

1 lb ground beef
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened (because we’re classy like that)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp butter, melted
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish (optional, but it makes everything look fancy!)

Cooking Steps

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Also, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent those delicious bombs from sticking—nobody wants a messy cleanup, right?
Brown the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until it’s fully cooked. Be sure to drain any excess grease, as we want these bombs to be deliciously satisfying, not greasy.
Add Those Flavors: Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Give it a good stir. Then, mix in the cream cheese and shredded cheddar until everything is melted and combined, making sure your kitchen starts to smell like a cheesy haven. Remove from heat and set aside!
Prepare the Biscuits: Open that can of biscuit dough and separate it into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a circle—don’t worry if they don’t look perfect; it’s all about the flavor!
Fill ‘Em Up: Place a generous spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture right in the center of each flattened biscuit. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to create a delicious little parcel. It’s like giving each one a hug!
Butter and Bake: In a small bowl, mix melted butter with the grated Parmesan cheese. Brush this delightful mixture over the tops of your bombs for that extra pop of flavor. Now, arrange those beauties on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Garnish & Serve: Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool slightly. Just long enough for you not to burn your tongue! Garnish with fresh parsley, if you want to get all chef-y about it, and enjoy!

Cooking Tips

Don’t Overthink It: If your biscuits don’t look like they came straight from a bakery, no worries! They’re going to taste amazing, and that’s all that matters.
Spice it Up: If you’re feeling adventurous, add some cayenne or red pepper flakes to the beef mixture for an extra kick. Your taste buds will thank you!

A Little Backstory

I remember the first time I made these Cheesy Beef Bombs—I was looking to impress my family during a casual Friday night dinner. Honestly, they scoffed at the idea until they took the first bite. The way their eyes lit up made all the cooking effort totally worth it! Now, they’re a regular request at our family gatherings.

FAQs

Can I substitute ground beef in this recipe?
Absolutely! Ground turkey, chicken, or even plant-based meat alternatives work great too.

How can I store leftovers?
If there are any left (which is unlikely), you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Just reheat them in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes when you’re ready to enjoy again.

Can I freeze these Cheesy Beef Bombs?
Yes, you can assemble the bombs but skip baking them. Pop them in the freezer for up to three months, and then bake them directly from frozen, adding 5-7 minutes to the cook time!
