Step-by-step instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the chopped onion. Cook until it becomes translucent.
- Introduce the ground beef or steak strips to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, cooking until browned.
- Roll out the biscuit dough rounds. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture and some shredded cheese in the center of each round.
- Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the bombs on it, spaced apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
- Allow them to cool slightly before diving in.
Best ways to enjoy it
These Philly Cheesesteak Bombs are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Pair them with a creamy dipping sauce, such as ranch or a spicy aioli, to elevate the flavors. You might also serve them alongside a simple garden salad or crispy fries for a complete meal that everyone will love.
Keeping leftovers fresh
To keep your Philly Cheesesteak Bombs in top shape, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should remain fresh for about 3-4 days. When it’s time to enjoy them again, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until warmed through and crispy.
Helpful cooking tips
- If you want an extra cheesy experience, feel free to add more provolone or blend in some mozzarella.
- Consider adding sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers to the filling for an additional flavor punch.
- Make sure to seal the dough thoroughly to avoid any filling escaping during baking.
Creative twists
Looking to switch things up? Try these variations:
- Swap out provolone for cheddar or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
- Add spices like garlic powder or Italian seasoning for an additional kick.
- For a healthier twist, replace biscuit dough with whole wheat or gluten-free options.
Common questions
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble Philly Cheesesteak Bombs ahead of time and keep them in the fridge for a few hours before baking. Just remember to let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before popping them in the oven.
What can I substitute for ground beef?
Feel free to use grilled chicken, turkey, or even roasted vegetables for a vegetarian option.
How should I store them if I want to make a large batch?
You can freeze the uncooked bombs by placing them on a baking sheet until firm, then transferring to a freezer-safe bag. They can be baked straight from the freezer—just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
