Step-by-step instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly flatten each biscuit on a clean surface.
- In the center of each biscuit, add a generous spoonful of shredded beef and a handful of cheese.
- Fold the biscuit over the filling and press the edges to seal. For a fun twist, you can also top each filled biscuit with another biscuit and press gently.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder. Brush this mixture over each biscuit bomb.
- Sprinkle extra cheese and fresh herbs on top for added flavor.
- Place the bombs on a lined baking tray and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and delicious.
Best ways to enjoy it
Cheesy Beef Biscuit Bombs make a fantastic appetizer at parties or a fun finger food for a family movie night. Serve them warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping or a light salad for a complete meal. They can also be enjoyed with a dollop of sour cream or a spicy aioli to enhance the flavors.
Keeping leftovers fresh
If you find yourself with extras (though they’re unlikely to last long!), store any leftover Cheesy Beef Biscuit Bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. They can also be frozen for longer storage. To reheat, simply pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10–15 minutes until warmed through. Always ensure your food is handled safely and stored properly.
Helpful cooking tips
- Ensure the biscuits are well sealed to prevent any filling from oozing out while baking.
- Consider adding some sautéed onions or bell peppers to the beef mix for added flavor and texture.
- For a delightful kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to your beef or sprinkle some hot sauce inside the biscuits.
Creative twists
- Experiment with different proteins like shredded chicken or turkey for unique flavors.
- Swap in other cheeses such as pepper jack for a spicy twist or a blend of Italian cheeses for a gourmet touch.
- For a healthier option, try using whole-wheat biscuits and lean ground beef mixed with fresh veggies.
