Ingredients (Makes 12 bombs)

For the Filling

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 small onion (diced)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

For the Biscuit Bombs

• 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)

For the Garlic Parmesan Butter

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

For Garnish

• Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat. Stir in the salt, black pepper, paprika, oregano, and shredded cheddar cheese. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Biscuit Bombs

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each biscuit. Fold the edges of the biscuit over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a ball. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

Step 3: Make the Garlic Parmesan Butter

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Brush the mixture over the tops of the biscuit bombs.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
