👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Cook the Filling
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it begins to brown.
- Add the onion and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes.

- Mix in the Worcestershire sauce, mustard, ketchup, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Drain any excess grease.
- Stir in the crumbled bacon.
- Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
3. Fill the Bombs
- Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center.
- Top with a generous tablespoon of shredded cheddar.
- Pull the edges of the dough up and pinch tightly to seal.
- Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Make the Garlic Butter
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan, parsley, and Italian seasoning.
Brush each dough ball generously with the garlic butter.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds or a little extra Parmesan if desired.
5. Bake
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown.
