Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for best flavor)
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella, pepper jack, etc.)
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count each)
- 4 tbsp melted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: chopped parsley, crumbled bacon, diced onions
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned and fully cooked.
Drain excess grease. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Let cool slightly, then mix in shredded cheese.
Step 2: Prep the Dough
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Flatten each biscuit into a 3–4 inch round.
Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of the beef mixture into the center of each biscuit.
Fold the edges up and pinch to seal, forming a ball. Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 3: Make Garlic Parmesan Butter
In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic and Parmesan cheese.
Brush generously over each dough ball.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Brush with more garlic butter after baking if desired.
Step 5: Serve
Sprinkle with chopped parsley or extra Parmesan.
Serve warm with dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or burger sauce.
