Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (80–85% lean)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (16.3 oz; 8 large biscuits)
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for topping)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Brown the beef: Heat a skillet over medium; cook ground beef, breaking it up, until no longer pink (5–6 minutes). Drain excess fat.
3. Season the filling: Stir in salt and pepper; let cool 3–4 minutes so the cheese won’t leak when assembled.
4. Add cheese: Mix shredded cheddar into the warm beef until just melty and combined.
5. Prep garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter with minced garlic (and parsley if using).
6. Flatten dough: Separate biscuits; gently flatten each into a 4–5 inch round.
7. Fill and seal: Add ~2 tablespoons beef mixture to the center; pull dough edges up and pinch to seal into a ball.
8. Brush & coat: Brush each ball with garlic butter; roll in a shallow dish of Parmesan mixed with Italian seasoning.
9. Bake: Place seam‑side down on the sheet; bake 12–15 minutes until deep golden and cooked through.
10. Rest & serve: Cool 5 minutes so the cheese sets; brush with any leftover garlic butter and sprinkle parsley.
Notes
Chill the filling 5–10 minutes if it’s very hot; cooler filling seals better and prevents leaks.
Swap cheeses: mozzarella for extra pull, pepper jack for heat, or smoked gouda for depth.
Reheat in an air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3–4 minutes to restore crispness.
