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)

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.
