🍂 Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 1 pound ground beef
• ½ cup onion, finely diced
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, cubed (or mozzarella for stretchiness)

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated

🥣 Instructions

2. Prepare Dough: Flatten each biscuit or dough ball into a small circle.
3. Fill the Bombs: Place 1–2 tablespoons of beef mixture in the center, top with a cube of cheese, then fold dough around filling to seal tightly.
4. Arrange on Tray: Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Brush with Garlic Butter: Mix melted butter with minced garlic. Brush over each dough ball.
6. Add Parmesan & Bake: Sprinkle Parmesan on top. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–18 minutes until golden brown.
