Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Bread Components:
- 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
Seasoning and Topping:
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, minced garlic, parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, thoroughly blending the ingredients until well incorporated.
- Divide the meat mixture into equal-sized portions, creating compact, uniform meatballs that will fit inside the biscuit dough.
- Separate each biscuit dough round and gently flatten them with your hands, creating a wider surface area for wrapping.
- Place a small portion of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit dough.
- Carefully wrap the meat mixture around the mozzarella, completely encasing the cheese and forming sealed, round bombs.
- Roll each bomb in breadcrumbs, ensuring a complete and even coating for a crispy exterior.
- Arrange the prepared bombs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow proper heat circulation.
- Brush the tops of the bombs with melted butter and sprinkle dried parsley for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the exterior turns golden brown and the meat is cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow the internal temperature to stabilize.
- Serve hot and enjoy the melty cheese and savory meat combination.
Notes
- Cheese Containment Technique: Ensure the mozzarella is fully sealed inside the meat to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
- Meat Mixture Consistency: Mix ground beef gently to avoid overworking, which can make the meat tough and dense.
- Crumb Coating Trick: Press breadcrumbs firmly onto the bombs for a crunchier, more adhered exterior that locks in moisture.
- Dietary Adaptation: Swap ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based meat alternatives for a lighter protein option that maintains similar flavor profiles.
