Let’s get cooking! Follow these easy steps:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix together the ground beef, ranch seasoning mix, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese until well blended.
- Use your hands to flatten each biscuit dough round and place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center.
- Carefully fold the dough edges over the beef mixture, then pinch to seal and form a ball.
- Place the stuffed biscuit bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush each bomb with ranch dressing and top with additional cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Best ways to enjoy it
These biscuit bombs are versatile and pair beautifully with various sides. Consider serving them with a crunchy garden salad or some homemade potato wedges for a complete meal. You could also set up a dipping station with additional ranch dressing or even BBQ sauce to take them over the top!
Keeping leftovers fresh
If you find yourself with leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, simply pop them in the oven or microwave until warm. For longer storage, freeze the uncooked biscuit bombs in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag once frozen. They can be baked directly from frozen—just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Helpful cooking tips
For the best results, try to avoid overmixing the beef mixture, as this can lead to tough bites. Also, ensure that all the edges are sealed properly to prevent any filling from leaking out during baking. Want to make them extra special? Brush the tops with melted butter right after baking for an irresistible shine and flavor!
Creative twists
Feeling adventurous? Here are a few variations to try:
- Swap in different cheese types such as pepper jack for a spicy kick.
- Add chopped jalapeños for some heat or even a dash of hot sauce in the beef mixture.
- For a vegetarian option, use black beans instead of ground beef and add extra veggies like corn and bell peppers.
