  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 12 small cubes cheddar or mozzarella cheese ~½-inch pieces

For the Dough:

  • For the Garlic Butter Topping:
  • ¼ cup 60 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven:

  • Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cook Filling:

  • Stir in garlic, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. Cook 1–2 mins. Cool slightly.

Prepare Dough:

  • Separate biscuit dough into 12 pieces. Flatten each into a 4-inch (10 cm) circle.

Assemble Bombs:

  • Place 1 tbsp beef mixture + 1 cheese cube in the center of each dough circle.
  • Fold edges up, seal tightly, and roll into smooth balls. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

Make Garlic Butter:

  • Mix melted butter, garlic, Parmesan, and parsley. Brush generously over bombs.

Bake:

  • Bake 15–18 mins until golden brown. Cool 5 mins before serving.

Notes

  • Substitutions: Use pizza dough or crescent rolls instead of biscuit dough.
  • Add-Ins: Try bacon bits, jalapeños, or pickles in the filling.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days or freeze for 1 month. Reheat in oven/air fryer.
