Ingredients
  

For the Filling:

  • 1 pound 450g lean ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion finely diced (about 1/2 cup {75g})
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup {110g} shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons {30g} tomato paste

The Wrapper:

  • 1 16.3 oz {462g} can large, flaky refrigerated biscuits (8 count)

For the Garlic-Parmesan Butter:

  • 1/4 cup {55g} unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons {10g} freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until the beef is browned and the onion is soft (7-8 minutes).
  • Push the mixture to the side. Add the tomato paste and minced garlic to the cleared spot and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir everything together.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes, then stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.

Assemble the Bombs:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Separate the biscuit dough. On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll each biscuit into a 5-6 inch (13-15 cm) circle.
  • Place a heaping tablespoon (about 2-3 tablespoons) of the cooled filling in the center of each dough circle.
  • Gather the edges over the filling, pinch, and twist tightly to seal. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Apply Butter & Bake:

  • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, grated Parmesan, parsley, garlic powder, and pinch of salt.
  • Generously brush the garlic-Parmesan butter over the top and sides of each assembled bomb.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until puffed and deep golden brown.
  • Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before serving. They will be very hot inside.

Notes

Ensure the filling is completely cooled before adding the cheese and assembling to prevent leaks.
For best reheating, use an oven or air fryer to maintain crispness; the microwave can make them soggy.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
