Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 6 slices bacon
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Dough and Wrapper:
- 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Seasonings and Aromatics:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the bacon by cooking until crisp, then crumble into small pieces and set aside to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley, blending the seasonings thoroughly into the meat.
- Incorporate the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese into the seasoned meat mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Dust a clean work surface with flour to prevent sticking.
- Carefully separate each biscuit from the package, using flour-dusted hands to gently flatten each piece into a thin circle.
- Place a small, compact portion of the meat-cheese mixture in the center of each biscuit round.
- Carefully fold and pinch the edges of the dough, completely sealing the filling inside to create a tight, round bomb shape.
- Arrange the sealed bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch each other.
- Brush the exterior of each bomb generously with melted butter, which will help create a golden, crispy exterior.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake the bombs for 15-18 minutes, or until the dough turns a deep golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 3-5 minutes before serving to allow the internal temperature to stabilize.
Notes
- Select thick-cut bacon for maximum flavor and crispiness, ensuring it’s fully cooled to prevent soggy texture.
- Mix ground beef gently to avoid tough meat, maintaining a light touch during seasoning and blending.
- Consider using lean ground beef to reduce excessive greasiness while keeping the bombs juicy and flavorful.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or smoked gouda for unique taste variations.
