Description
Golden biscuit pockets filled with juicy garlic‑seasoned ground beef and melted cheeses, topped with Parmesan and served warm — the perfect cheeseburger‑inspired appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (≈ 450 g)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated or shredded
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, cubed or shredded
- 1 can (about 16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 °F (≈ 190‑200 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with minced garlic until the beef is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat. Season with salt & pepper.
- Remove skillet from heat; stir in Parmesan cheese and cheddar cheese until evenly combined.
- Flatten each biscuit into a circle (about 4‑inch diameter) using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef‑cheese filling into the center of each biscuit, leaving a border around the edges.
- Fold the edges up over the filling and pinch the seams tightly to seal each bomb. If needed, use a bit of water on the edges to help seal.
- Place the sealed bombs seam‑side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with the melted butter.
- Bake for 12‑15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, then serve warm.
Notes
- To boost the garlic flavor, add a sprinkle of garlic powder to the melted butter before brushing the tops.
- Don’t overfill the biscuits, or they might split during baking.
- Make ahead: assemble the bombs, refrigerate overnight, then bake when you're ready. You may need a few extra minutes in the oven.
- For safety, let them cool a little before cutting or biting so the hot cheese doesn’t burn.
