Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Cheese Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, cubed or shredded
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Dough and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 can Pillsbury biscuit dough or pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375F (190C) and prepare a baking sheet with light cooking spray.
- Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into crumbly pieces until fully browned and no pink remains.
- Season the beef mixture with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, creating a flavorful base.
- Incorporate crispy crumbled bacon into the seasoned beef and remove the skillet from heat.
- Carefully stretch and roll out the biscuit dough, cutting it into uniform squares or circular shapes.
- Place a generous spoonful of the beef and bacon mixture in the center of each dough piece.
- Add a cube or sprinkle of cheddar cheese directly on top of the meat filling.
- Carefully fold and pinch the edges of the dough, creating a sealed pocket or “bomb” shape.
- Arrange the sealed bombs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch.
- Brush the exterior of each bomb with melted butter for a golden finish.
- Generously sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the buttered surface.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the bombs turn a rich, golden brown color.
- Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley before serving warm.
Notes
- Seal edges tightly to prevent filling from leaking during baking, ensuring a perfectly contained cheesy burst.
- Experiment with different ground meats like turkey or chicken for a leaner protein option that still delivers incredible flavor.
- Use gluten-free biscuit dough to make this recipe suitable for those with wheat sensitivities while maintaining the same delicious texture.
- Prep bombs ahead of time and refrigerate before baking, which helps the dough hold its shape and intensifies the savory filling’s taste.
