- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella
Dough
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (or pizza dough)

Instructions
- Cook filling: In a skillet, brown beef with onion and garlic. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Drain excess grease and let cool slightly.
- Prepare dough: Flatten biscuit or pizza dough rounds into 4–5 inch circles.
- Fill: Place 1–2 tbsp beef mixture and cheese in the center of each round.
- Seal: Pinch edges tightly to enclose filling. Place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Top: Brush with melted butter mixed with garlic. Sprinkle Parmesan and parsley.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Cool slightly and serve warm with dipping sauces.
- Tip: Pinch dough edges tightly to prevent leaks during baking.
Notes
- Make-ahead: Assemble bombs up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
- Reheating: Use oven or air fryer for best texture.
- Freezing: Freeze unbaked bombs and bake straight from frozen (add 5–7 minutes).
- Avoid mistakes: Don’t overfill, seal edges well, and roll dough thinner if using store-bought biscuits.
- Variations: Try pepper jack or Swiss cheese, add mushrooms or caramelized onions, or make a Big Mac-style version with pickles and special sauce.
- Nutrition: High in protein; customize with turkey, chicken, or plant-based meat for lighter options.
