Step-by-Step Instructions

• In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes.

• Drain excess fat, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce.

• Let the mixture cool slightly, then stir in shredded cheese until well combined. Add optional mix-ins like bacon or onions if desired.

2. Fill and Shape the Bombs

• Flatten each dough piece into a 4-inch circle.

• Place 1–2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center of each.

• Pull edges together and pinch tightly to seal, then gently roll into a smooth ball.

3. Prep for Baking

• Arrange the dough bombs seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

• Mix melted butter with garlic, then brush generously over the tops.

• Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan.

4. Bake

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

5. Finish and Serve

Tips for Success

• Don’t overfill – Keep the filling to 1–2 tablespoons to avoid leaks

• Seal well – Pinch the dough edges tightly to prevent bursting during baking

• Cool the filling – Warm beef can make the dough harder to handle

• Use fresh cheese – For best melt and texture

• Add toppings inside – Get creative with crispy bacon, sautéed mushrooms, or jalapeños
