Let’s Make it together
Prepare Your Oven and Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While that’s heating up, gather all your ingredients so you’re ready to roll.

Add Seasonings and Cheese: Stir in onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and half of the cheddar cheese until well combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Wrap It Up!: Take a biscuit dough piece and flatten it slightly. Place a spoonful of beef mixture in the center; top with more cheese and condiments before sealing it shut.
Bake to Golden Perfection: Arrange your filled bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown; enjoy that heavenly aroma filling your kitchen!
Serve Hot with Dipping Sauce: Once they are out of the oven, serve immediately with extra ketchup and mustard on the side for dipping. Watch as everyone dives into these cheesy delights!
