How to Make Cheesy Beef Biscuit Bombs

Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s ready for baking these delicious bites! This ensures a perfectly baked exterior.
Cook beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned, which should take about 6-8 minutes. Stir occasionally for even cooking and flavor.
Drain and season: Once browned, drain any excess grease from the pan. Return the beef to the heat and stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to enhance the flavors.
Cool slightly: Remove the skillet from heat and let the beef mixture cool for a few moments. This helps prevent the cream cheese from melting too much later.
Mix cheese filling: In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and grated Parmesan. Mix until well blended and creamy.
Combine fillings: Gently fold in the cooled beef mixture with the cheese mixture until thoroughly combined. The flavors will meld together beautifully!
Prepare biscuit dough: Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough and flatten each piece into a disk using your hands or a rolling pin.
Fill and seal: Place a spoonful of the cheesy beef filling in the center of each biscuit disk. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch or seal the edges to ensure the goodness stays inside.
Arrange and brush: Place your sealed biscuit bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops generously with melted butter to achieve that golden, crispy finish.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit bombs are puffed up and golden brown. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
Cool slightly: Once baked, allow them to cool for just a few minutes before serving—this will help them hold their shape.

Optional: Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping or alongside a fresh salad for a balanced meal.

Cheesy Beef Biscuit Bombs Recipe FAQs

How do I select the best ground beef?
Absolutely! When selecting ground beef for your cheesy beef biscuit bombs, look for meat that is bright red with minimal dark spots and a good amount of marbling. Choose beef with a fat content of around 80/20 for extra moisture and flavor. If you’re opting for a healthier option, ground turkey or chicken can work just as well.

How should I store leftover cheesy beef biscuit bombs?
Very! Store your leftover cheesy beef biscuit bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Make sure they’re completely cooled before you seal them up to keep them fresh and delicious. If you want to preserve them longer, consider freezing them.

Can I freeze cheesy beef biscuit bombs? What’s the best method?
For sure! To freeze your cheesy beef biscuit bombs, wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply bake them straight from the freezer at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.

Why are my biscuit bombs leaking during baking?
Oh no, that can happen! If your cheesy beef mixture is too full or if the edges of the biscuit dough aren’t correctly sealed, the filling may leak out. To avoid this, make sure to pinch the edges firmly after folding the dough over the filling and don’t overstuff. A well-sealed bomb ensures maximum gooey inside and a crispy outside!

Can my pets eat cheesy beef biscuit bombs?
While it might be tempting to share delicious cheesy beef biscuit bombs with your furry friends, it’s best not to. The seasonings and cheese can be too rich and may not sit well with their digestive systems. Stick to pet-friendly treats for your four-legged companions!

What can I do if my filling is too runny?
Great question! If your filling turns out too runny, try adding a small amount of breadcrumbs or crushed crackers to thicken it up. You could also let the mixture sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes, which helps solidify the filling as it cools, making it easier to scoop into your biscuit dough.
