How to Make Cheesy Beef Biscuit Bombs
Step 1: Cook the Beef
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Cook until browned and cooked through, then drain excess fat.
Let the mixture cool slightly.

Separate biscuit dough and flatten each biscuit into a small circle.
Step 3: Fill the Biscuits
Place 1–2 tablespoons of beef mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Fold the dough over the filling and pinch edges to seal completely.
Step 4: Bake
Place the stuffed biscuits on a greased baking sheet.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 5: Serve
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm with ketchup, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
