Introduction
Cheesy Beef Biscuit Bombs are a deliciously satisfying snack or appetizer, combining savory ground beef and three types of cheese wrapped in tender biscuit dough. These bite-sized treats are easy to make and perfect for sharing at any gathering.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
- Step 3: Return the beef to the heat and stir in garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Step 4: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Add the cooled beef mixture and stir until evenly mixed.
- Step 5: Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a small round disc using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Step 6: Spoon a generous amount of the beef and cheese filling into the center of each biscuit.
- Step 7: Fold the edges of the biscuit around the filling and pinch them tightly together to seal into a ball shape.
- Step 8: Place each biscuit bomb on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, spaced evenly apart.
- Step 9: Brush the tops of the biscuit bombs with melted butter for a golden, crispy finish.
- Step 10: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. Let cool a few minutes before serving.
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the beef mixture.

- Try swapping cheddar cheese for pepper jack to add a little heat.
- Serve with a side of ranch dressing or marinara sauce for dipping.

Ingredients
Meat and Cheese Filling
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Biscuit Dough and Finishing
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for baking the biscuit bombs.
- Cook Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, stirring occasionally to break it apart. Continue cooking until fully browned, about 6-8 minutes.
- Drain Grease and Season: Drain any excess grease from the skillet, return to heat, and stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to combine flavors well.
- Cool Beef Mixture: Remove the skillet from heat and let the beef mixture cool slightly to avoid melting the cheese prematurely.
- Combine Cheeses: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and evenly mixed.
- Mix Filling: Add the cooled beef mixture into the cheese blend and stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a small round disc using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Fill and Seal: Spoon a generous amount of the beef and cheese mixture into the center of each biscuit disc. Carefully fold the edges around the filling and pinch to seal, forming a ball shape.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the filled biscuit bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, spacing them evenly to allow baking expansion.
- Brush with Butter: Brush the tops of each biscuit bomb with melted butter, which will help create a golden, crispy crust.
- Bake: Bake the bombs in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are nicely golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid burning and to let flavors meld.
Notes
- Make sure to drain the grease from the beef to avoid soggy biscuit bombs.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese for your preferred cheese blend if desired.
- Be careful to pinch the biscuit edges tightly to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
