how to make Cheesy Beef Biscuit Bombs

Ingredients:

• 1 lb Ground beef (or ground turkey/chicken)
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella/Monterey Jack)
• 8 oz Cream cheese, softened (or ricotta cheese)
• 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast)
• 1 can Refrigerated biscuit dough (store-bought)
• 2 tbsp Melted butter (or olive oil)
• 1 tsp Garlic powder (or fresh minced garlic)
• 1 tsp Onion powder (or fresh diced onions, adjust cooking time)
• 1/2 tsp Black pepper (omit if less spice is preferred)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

6. Place the filled biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Brush the tops of the biscuit bombs with melted butter or olive oil to help them brown.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
