Ingredients:
- 1 lb Lean Ground Beef (85/15)
- 1/2 medium Yellow Onion, finely diced
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tsp Beef Stock Cube/Bouillon Powder (Optional)
- Salt and Black Pepper, To taste
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese Blend (Sharp Cheddar and Mozzarella)
- 1 tube (10 count) Refrigerated Biscuit Dough
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, melted
- 4 cloves Fresh Garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (plus extra for finishing)
Instructions:
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Brown the Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it up and cook until fully browned.
- Drain Fat: Crucially, drain off all excess fat. Soggy filling makes for soggy bombs.
- Season: Return the beef to the heat. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, stock powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until the liquid has evaporated slightly.
- Cool: Transfer the beef filling to a bowl and let it cool for 5–10 minutes.
- Add Cheese: Once the filling is slightly cooled, stir in the 1 cup of shredded cheese blend.
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease the cups of a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Prep Dough: Open the biscuit dough package. On a lightly floured surface, take one biscuit and gently stretch or roll it into a 4-inch (10 cm) circle.
- Fill: Place about 2 rounded tablespoons of the beef/cheese mixture into the centre of the dough circle.
- Seal: Gather the edges of the dough up and over the filling, meeting at the top. Pinch the seams firmly to seal the ball completely. Ensure there are no gaps.
- Place: Place the sealed bomb, seam-side down, into a prepared muffin tin cup. Repeat with the remaining 9 biscuits.
- Bake: Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the dough is puffed up and deep golden brown.
- Prepare Glaze: While the bombs are baking, melt the butter in a small bowl. Stir in the fresh minced garlic, chopped parsley, and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese.
- Glaze and Serve: Remove the hot bombs from the oven. Immediately brush the tops generously with the garlic-Parmesan butter mixture. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan and serve piping hot.
