Gather Your Ingredients

• Ground beef: one pound with 80/20 fat content recommended for juicy, flavorful filling
• Cheddar cheese: one cup shredded for melty cheesiness inside every bite
• Garlic powder: two teaspoons plus another teaspoon for brushing the dough to infuse that bold garlic punch
• Salt: one teaspoon to enhance all the flavors
• Black pepper: one teaspoon freshly ground if possible for a slight kick
• Butter: two tablespoons melted to brush on the biscuits and help them brown beautifully
• Refrigerated biscuit dough: two cans each containing eight biscuits for a quick and easy wrap
• Parmesan cheese: half cup grated to sprinkle on top for that nutty, salty finish
• Choosing fresh refrigerated biscuit dough instead of frozen helps with even baking and a fluffier texture

How to Make It

Reheat Preparation:

Remove the biscuit dough from the fridge and let it soften slightly to make it easier to work with

Cook the Beef:

In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the ground beef until no pink remains about eight to ten minutes. Season with one teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and black pepper while cooking to infuse flavor. Drain excess fat carefully to avoid sogginess

Assemble Filling:

In a bowl combine the cooked ground beef with shredded cheddar cheese for rich, melty pockets inside the dough

Prepare the Dough:

Separate biscuits from the two cans and flatten each using your hands or a rolling pin to form about a four inch circle making sure the dough is not too thin or thick

Fill and Seal:

Place a generous spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit circle. Carefully pull edges over the filling and pinch to seal tightly so none of the cheese leaks out during baking

Add Topping:

Brush each sealed biscuit ball with melted butter mixed with one teaspoon of garlic powder for that extra garlic aroma. Then sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top to add a beautiful golden crust when baked

Bake to Perfection:

Place the prepared balls on a greased baking sheet spaced apart so they can expand. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for twenty-five minutes or until golden brown and puffed up

Serve:

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly to avoid burning your mouth. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or a spicy mayo

My favorite part is the garlic butter brushed on top before baking it creates this irresistible aroma that fills the entire kitchen. Once, I made these bombs for a birthday party and everyone was amazed at how flavorful and fun they were to eat

Flavor Boosters

Serve with pickles, a side salad, or some crunchy coleslaw to add freshness. Pair with an assortment of dipping sauces such as BBQ sauce, honey mustard, or chipotle aioli to keep things interesting for guests. Cut them in halves so everyone can share and sample multiple flavors without getting too full fast
