Assemble the Bombs:

Spoon two to three tablespoons of beef and cheese mixture into each dough circle Gather dough edges up and over the filling Pinch and twist the seams firmly to seal so that none of the mixture leaks

My favorite part is the way the Parmesan coating crisps up during baking It reminds me of the garlic knots my grandmother made every Sunday only with the bonus of a savory surprise inside One time we brought these as a road trip snack and they managed to disappear before we made it to the highway

Storage Tips

Let any leftovers cool completely before transferring to airtight containers You can store them in the fridge for up to three days Reheat in the oven at three hundred fifty degrees until hot to revive the original crispness Microwave works too but expect a slightly softer crust You can also freeze these baked or unbaked for quick meals later

Ingredient Substitutions

Swap ground turkey or chicken for the beef if you like things lighter Use your favorite melting cheese like mozzarella pepper jack or Monterey Jack Biscuit dough can be replaced with pizza dough or croissant dough in a pinch Chopped chives work in place of parsley for a gentle oniony touch

Recipe FAQs

Yes! Mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or even provolone melt well and can offer distinct flavors in place of cheddar.

Allow the beef mixture to cool before filling and avoid overfilling. This prevents the dough from getting wet during assembly.

→ Can these be prepared ahead of time?

You can assemble the bombs up to a few hours in advance and refrigerate. Bake them just before serving for best results.

→ Are there options for making the bombs spicier?

Add chopped jalapeños, a pinch of cayenne, or crushed red pepper into the beef mixture to introduce some heat.

→ Is there a vegetarian version available?

Swap the ground beef for seasoned mushrooms, lentils, or plant-based crumbles to create a vegetarian-friendly filling.
