👩🍳 Instructions
Brown the Beef
Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into crumbles. Cook until browned (5–7 mins). Drain excess grease.
Season the Filling
Return beef to skillet. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Add Cheese
Mix shredded cheese into the cooled beef. Optional: Add chopped pickles, bacon, or jalapeños for a twist.
Shape the Bombs
Flatten biscuit dough into 3-inch rounds. Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of filling into the center. Pinch edges to seal and roll into balls.
Prepare for Baking
Place bombs seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Space them 2 inches apart.
Add Garlic Butter Topping
Mix melted butter and minced garlic. Brush over each bomb. Sprinkle generously with parmesan cheese.
Bake Until Golden
Bake at 375°F for 15–18 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Bombs should sound hollow when tapped.
Serve & Enjoy
Brush with extra garlic butter and sprinkle with parsley if desired. Let cool for 3–5 minutes before serving.

🧀 Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
Highlights:
Ground Beef: 80/20 blend delivers flavor without too much grease.
Biscuit Dough: Refrigerated dough saves time and bakes up fluffy and golden.
Cheese: Cheddar gives that sharp, classic burger flavor. Mozzarella stretches beautifully!
Swaps:
Use ground turkey for a lighter version.
Try crescent roll dough instead of biscuits for a flakier texture.
Add diced pickles or onions for a “loaded burger” vibe.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
Dips: Serve with ketchup, ranch, or a spicy aioli.
Sides: Pair with fries, coleslaw, or a green salad.

Q: What if my filling leaks during baking?
A: Make sure the seams are well-sealed and placed facing down on the baking tray.
