Ingredients
For the Filling
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
For the Biscuit Bombs
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
For Finishing
- 1 egg, beaten
- Ketchup or dipping sauce for serving
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Cook the Beef
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and diced onions. Cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking the beef apart as it cooks.
Step 3: Season the Filling
Season with salt and black pepper. Continue cooking until the beef is fully browned and the onions are soft.
Step 4: Drain Excess Grease
Remove any excess grease from the skillet. Allow the beef mixture to cool slightly before assembling.
Step 5: Prepare the Dough
Separate the biscuit dough into individual portions. Flatten each biscuit into a circle about 4 inches wide.
Step 6: Add the Filling
Place a spoonful of the beef mixture into the center of each dough circle.
Step 7: Add the Cheese
Top the beef with a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 8: Seal the Biscuit Bombs
Carefully pull the edges of the dough up and around the filling. Pinch the seams together tightly to completely seal the filling inside.
Step 9: Shape the Balls
Roll each filled dough ball gently between your hands to create a smooth round shape.
Step 10: Brush with Egg Wash
Place the biscuit bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a beautiful golden finish.
Step 11: Bake
Bake for 18–22 minutes or until the tops are deep golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.
Step 12: Cool Slightly
Allow the biscuit bombs to cool for 5 minutes before serving. The cheese inside will be very hot.
Step 13: Serve
Serve warm with ketchup, ranch dressing, cheese sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips & Notes
- Let the beef cool slightly before filling the dough.
- Seal the dough well to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
- Sharp cheddar provides the best flavor.
- Add diced jalapeños for a spicy version.
- These are best served warm while the cheese is melted.
