Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup ketchup

1 tbsp mustard

👩🍳 Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Brown the beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain excess fat. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Flatten each biscuit into a 4–5 inch round. Spoon 1-2 tbsp of meat mixture into the center. Add a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
-
Fold and seal the biscuit around the filling, pinching edges together. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
-
Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden brown.
-
Mix melted butter, garlic powder, and Parmesan. Brush over the warm bombs. Garnish with parsley.

Serve hot with ketchup, mustard, or dipping sauce of choice.
