Mouthwatering Cheesy Beef Biscuit Bombs

Craving something cheesy and comforting? Try these beef-stuffed biscuit bites. Each flaky biscuit hides a gooey mix of beef and cheese. They're super simple but always disappear fast thanks to that golden buttery crust and melty middle. You'll want them for busy nights, parties, or big family hangouts.

I whipped these up during a movie night at home and my teens devoured them instantly. The credits hadn't even started when I had to toss together another round.

Irresistible Ingredients

• Refrigerated biscuit dough: lets you skip the hassle and still get flaky layers Choose your go-to brand and buttermilk if possible for a rich flavor
• Ground beef: packs in plenty of savory goodness Pick beef that's bright pink and firm so it's fresh
• Cream cheese: brings a creamy bite to the mix Let it soften so it blends easily
• Shredded cheddar cheese: is perfect for that cheesy stretch Grab some aged cheddar if you want a more intense taste
• Grated Parmesan cheese: gives it a salty, nutty kick If you can, grate it yourself right before using
• Black pepper: brings a gentle warmth Use freshly ground for the best zing
• Onion powder: adds just a touch of sweetness Choose plain onion powder not onion salt so you can control the flavor
• Garlic powder: fills your kitchen with a mouthwatering smell Go with a fine powder that blends in easily
• Melted butter: finishes with a golden shine and crispy outer edge Don't skip high-quality butter for extra taste

Easy to Follow Steps

Let Them Rest:

Once they're out of the oven, let the biscuit bombs cool for five minutes or so. This keeps the filling from spilling out right away.

Brush and Bake:

Cover each top with melted butter so they bake up golden and crisp. Pop in the oven for twelve to fifteen minutes until biscuits look beautifully browned and done all the way through.

Arrange for Baking:

Set the stuffed biscuits seam side down on your lined baking sheet. Leave space between them so they cook up evenly and get a nice crust.

Stuff and Pinch:

Add a hearty scoop of the beef mix in the center of each dough round. Pull up the sides and pinch them together super tight so nothing leaks out.

Shape Biscuits:

Crack open the can of biscuit dough and separate each one. Flatten each piece to about four inches with your hands or a rolling pin.

Mix It All Up:

Drop the cooled beef into the cheese bowl. Stir until everything blends together and gets super creamy.

Blend the Cheeses:

In a big bowl, mash together the shredded cheddar, Parmesan, and cream cheese using a strong spatula till smooth.

Let It Cool:

Take the skillet off the burner so the beef mix can cool for a bit. This way, the cheese won't melt too fast when you stir them together.

Add Seasoning:

Toss the beef back into the skillet and mix in the onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Cook two minutes more to let the spices wake up.

Cook the Beef:

Heat up your large skillet, toss in the ground beef, and break it up as it cooks. Stir once in a while so it browns evenly. Cook until all the pink is gone — usually about six to eight minutes.

Fire Up the Oven:

Preheat your oven to three hundred seventy five degrees Fahrenheit. Set the rack in the middle so heat is even as they bake.

My kids always beg for extra cheese so I like to toss in sharp white cheddar or some mozzarella for that stretchy melt. When my nephew rolled them for the first time, he started calling them magic meatballs. Now our whole family uses that name.

Storing Made Simple

After cooling down, pop leftovers in an airtight container. They’ll last in the fridge for three days. To warm them up, bake at three hundred fifty degrees for about eight minutes or microwave in short bursts till the cheese is melty.

Swaps and Options

Switch out the ground beef for turkey or your go-to plant protein. Feel like changing it up? Try Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or even kick it up with pepper Jack cheese for extra punch.

Fun Ways to Serve

They're best piping hot right from the oven. Add a big mixed salad for a full meal, or set out with dips like ranch, ketchup, or hot sauce at a party. They also make a killer lunchbox treat the next day.
