Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred, but lean works too)
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional, but recommended)
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mix with mozzarella for extra gooeyness)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pickles (optional)
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 pieces, such as Pillsbury Grands) OR 1 lb homemade pizza dough
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (or fresh minced garlic)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook for 3-5 minutes, breaking up with a spoon until browned.
  3. Add chopped onion and minced garlic; cook another 2 minutes until onions soften.
  4. Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in ketchup and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese and pickles (if using) into the cooled beef mixture.
  6. Separate biscuit dough into 8 pieces and flatten each into a 4-inch circle (or divide pizza dough into 8 balls and roll out).
  7. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling onto the center of each dough round. Pull edges up and pinch tightly to seal, rolling gently into a ball. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. In a bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, chopped parsley, and red pepper flakes. Brush each bomb generously with the mixture. Sprinkle grated parmesan over the tops.
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown. If desired, broil for 1 minute for extra color (watch closely).
  10. Let cool for 3-5 minutes. Brush with any remaining garlic butter and serve warm.

Notes

Let the filling cool before stuffing to prevent dough from splitting. Pinch dough edges tightly to seal. For gluten-free or dairy-free, use alternative dough and cheese. Can be assembled ahead and refrigerated up to 8 hours or frozen before baking. Reheat leftovers in the oven for best texture.
