• Cheddar or mozzarella cheese, cubed
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Beef: In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned, then let it cool slightly.
3. Assemble the Bombs: Flatten each biscuit or pizza dough round. Add a spoonful of cooked beef and a cube of cheese to the center. Pinch the edges together to seal and roll into a smooth ball.
4. Bake: Place the sealed dough balls onto the baking sheet, seam-side down. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Garlic Butter Coating: In a small saucepan, melt butter and stir in minced garlic. Brush the garlic butter over the baked bombs, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan and chopped parsley.
6. Serve: Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
