Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, stirring occasionally to break it apart.
- Cook the beef until it is fully browned, about 6-8 minutes.
- Drain any excess grease from the skillet and return the beef to the heat.
- Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spices are well combined with the beef.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the beef mixture to cool slightly.
Filling the Bombs
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Add the cooled beef mixture to the cheese mixture and stir until everything is evenly mixed.
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits.
- Flatten each biscuit into a small round disc with your hands or a rolling pin.
- Spoon a generous amount of the beef and cheese mixture into the center of each biscuit.
- Carefully fold the edges of each biscuit around the filling and pinch them together to form a sealed ball.
- Place each filled biscuit bomb onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, making sure they are evenly spaced.
- Brush the tops of the biscuit bombs with the melted butter for a golden, crispy finish.
Baking
- Bake the biscuit bombs in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the biscuit bombs from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
