Featured in: Perfect Starters and Savory Bites

Take things up a notch for game day with these cheesy beef bombs. They’ve got garlic-spiked beef, loads of both cheddar and Parmesan, and all of it gets stuffed inside buttery biscuit dough. The best part? You use canned biscuits, so they’re a breeze—just fill, close, and stick ‘em in the oven. The golden outside is crisp, the inside melts, and a brush of basil butter or a sprinkle of parsley makes them extra tempting. Feeling creative?

Tasty Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Butter, Melted: Gives the outside that wonderful buttery shine.
  • 1 lb Ground Beef: Plenty of rich, hearty flavor for every bite.
  • ½ Cup Parmesan Cheese, Diced: Adds a burst of salty, cheesy yum.
  • 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese, Cubed: Turns perfectly gooey once baked.
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, Minced: Packs serious flavor into the meat.
  • 1 Can (16.3 oz) Biscuit Dough: Your shortcut for golden layers and crunch.
  • 1 tbsp Parsley, Chopped: Sprinkle on top if you like a fresh pop of green.

Simple How-To Steps

Start Bakin’:
Crank your oven up to 375°F (190°C). Use parchment to line your tray and lay out the bombs with the seams tucked underneath. Brush melted butter on top, toss on parsley, and bake until they're puffed up and golden—about 15-18 minutes.
Let 'Em Rest & Dip:
Give the bombs a bit to cool off before eating. Dunk into ranch, BBQ, marinara, or garlic butter for a fun twist.
Stuff & Wrap:
Press each biscuit out to about 4 inches wide. Scoop on the meat mix, then pop a cheddar cube and some Parmesan over it. Fold everything up and squish it into a ball, pinching it closed good and tight.
Make the Beef Filling:
Set a pan on medium. Brown the beef and drain off any fat. Toss in garlic and cook for another minute or two so it gets fragrant. Pull it from the heat to cool a little before you fill the dough.

How To Serve & Store

Keep leftovers fresh in a sealed container in the fridge for three days tops. Want 'em crispy again? Pop in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for around 5 minutes, or an air fryer for 3-4 minutes.

Fun Twists To Try

Bring the heat—chop in some jalapeños or red pepper flakes. Change up the cheese—mozzarella, gouda, or pepper jack all work! Pizza version? Use mozzarella plus pepperoni. Going veggie? Sauté mushrooms and spinach, add feta, and you're set.

Quick Final Thoughts

So crunchy, buttery, and golden outside. Inside, it's all gooey cheese and garlic goodness. These little bombs are always a hit when folks want something tasty—great for last-minute snacks or a party plate.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I prep Cheesy Beef Bombs ahead of time?
Sure thing! Put them together up to a day in advance and pop them in the fridge unbaked. Or freeze for three months and bake from frozen—just give them about 5 to 7 extra minutes.
→ What dips or sides go best with these?
They’re awesome with ranch, marinara, or garlicky butter for dunking. For something lighter, toss a little salad on the side.
→ Can I swap canned biscuits for homemade dough?
Yep, homemade works too! Just make sure it isn’t sticky so you can wrap it around the filling with no trouble.
→ How do I know Cheesy Beef Bombs are cooked through?
They turn golden on the outside and the biscuit is fully cooked inside. If you’re not sure, the inside should hit 165°F—or just check that there’s no doughy bits left.
→ Will ground turkey or chicken work instead of beef?
For sure! Just brown poultry thoroughly and bump up the seasoning since turkey or chicken is lighter in taste.

Cuisine: American

Yield: 8 Servings (8 beef and cheese bombs)

Dietary: ~

Ingredients

→ Filling Ingredients

01 1 cup cheddar cheese, cut into cubes
02 2 minced garlic cloves
03 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, chopped small
04 1 pound of ground beef

→ Dough Components

05 1 can (16.3 oz) of pre-made biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)

→ Topping Mix

06 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional garnish)
07 2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

Step 01

Warm up a skillet on medium heat and break apart the ground beef into smaller bits as it cooks. Stir occasionally and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the meat is fully browned. Drain off any grease so your bombs won’t get soggy. Toss in the garlic and let it cook with the beef for 1-2 minutes until you catch that wonderful aroma. Let the mixture cool a little so it won't mess with the dough when you wrap it.

Step 02

While the beef cools, cut your cheeses if needed. Make sure the cheddar is around 1/2-inch cubes to give you those melty cheese pulls! Open up the biscuit dough and pull apart the pieces. Stretch each biscuit gently with your fingers into a circle about 4 inches wide. They don’t need to be perfect but should hold the filling snugly.

Step 03

Spoon a generous amount of the beef mix onto the center of a flattened biscuit. Add a cheddar cube and a sprinkle of Parmesan on top. Carefully fold up the dough around the stuffing, pinching along the edges so nothing leaks out during baking. Roll each piece lightly between your hands into a round ball. Place every ball seam-side down on a parchment-covered baking sheet.

Step 04

Set your oven to heat up to 375°F (190°C). Once all the bombs are arranged on the tray, use a pastry brush to coat them generously with melted butter. Sprinkle parsley on if you’re using it - it’ll make them look fancy! Pop the tray in your oven and bake for about 15 to 18 minutes, or until the dough turns golden and puffy.

Step 05

Let the beef bombs cool for a short 3-5 minutes; the insides will be super hot! Move them onto a plate and enjoy them while they’re still warm and gooey. People won’t stop smiling after the first bite of these delicious bites!

Notes

  1. These beef and cheese treats are awesome for game nights or a quick meal that’s sure to make everyone happy - adults and kiddos alike!
  2. Switch things up by adding extra goodies like crumbled bacon, chopped jalapeños, or swapping the cheddar for another cheese like mozzarella.
  3. You can make these ahead and freeze unbaked. When it’s time to cook, bake them straight from the freezer, adding an extra 5-7 minutes.
