Description
Seasoned ground beef, crispy bacon, and melty cheddar cheese wrapped inside golden, buttery biscuit dough and baked until perfectly puffed for an irresistible handheld dinner or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 or 90/10)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 6-8 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
- 4 oz orange cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 16.3 oz refrigerated biscuit dough (one tube of 8 biscuits)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp dried parsley flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with salt and pepper, breaking it apart until fully browned. Drain excess fat and let cool slightly.
- Stir the crumbled bacon into the cooked beef until combined.
- Separate the biscuit dough into 8 individual rounds and flatten each into a circle about 4-5 inches wide.
- Place a spoonful of the beef and bacon mixture in the center of each biscuit round, then press a cube of cheddar cheese into the filling.
- Fold the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pinching firmly to seal each bomb completely.
- Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Stir together the melted butter and dried parsley, then brush generously over the top of each bomb.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Pinch the seams tightly so the filling stays inside while baking.
- Let the beef cool slightly before assembling so it doesn’t make the dough soggy.
