Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend preferred)
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 slices American cheese, quartered (or cheddar)
  • 8 dill pickle chips (optional)
  • 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits, about 12 oz)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced or grated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Set out biscuit dough to soften slightly.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and break up with a spatula.
  4. Add diced onion and cook, stirring, until beef is browned and onions are soft (about 6-8 minutes).
  5. Drain excess fat if needed.
  6. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, then remove from heat to cool slightly.
  7. In a small bowl, melt butter. Stir in minced garlic, parsley, parmesan, and garlic powder.
  8. Separate the 8 biscuit dough pieces. Flatten each into a 4-inch round using your hands or the bottom of a glass.
  9. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture into the center of each dough round.
  10. Top with a quarter slice of cheese and a pickle chip (if using).
  11. Gather the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching to seal well. Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing at least 2 inches apart.
  12. Brush each bomb generously with garlic butter. Sprinkle with extra parmesan if desired.
  13. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Rotate the pan halfway if baking two sheets.
  14. Immediately brush with any leftover garlic butter after baking. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  15. Sprinkle with more parsley and parmesan. Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or burger sauce for dipping.

Notes

Don’t overfill the bombs to prevent leaks. Seal the edges tightly and use parchment paper for easy cleanup. Let the bombs rest for 5 minutes after baking to avoid molten cheese burns. These freeze well—wrap individually and reheat in the oven for best results. For a vegetarian version, use plant-based ground ‘meat’ and vegetarian cheese.
