Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can 8-count refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 8 cubes cheddar cheese about 3/4 inch each
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Add ground beef to a skillet over medium heat and cook, breaking it up, until browned and no pink remains, 6 to 8 minutes.
  3. Drain excess fat from the skillet, then stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until the beef is evenly seasoned. Let cool slightly.
  4. Open the biscuit dough and separate into 8 pieces. Flatten each biscuit into a circle about 3 inches wide.
  5. Place a spoonful of the cooled beef mixture into the center of each dough circle and top the beef with 1 cube of cheddar cheese.
  6. Pull the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching firmly to seal, then gently roll each one into a smooth ball.
  7. Arrange the filled dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  8. Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, then stir in the minced garlic.
  9. Brush the garlic butter over the tops of each dough ball.
  10. Sprinkle the tops evenly with grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
  11. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
  12. Let cool for a few minutes, then serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef for a lighter option.
- Low-carb or keto-friendly dough can be used instead of biscuit dough if needed.
- Use any good melting cheese, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack, in place of cheddar.
- Make-ahead: Assemble, refrigerate up to 24 hours, then bake from cold, adding 2 to 3 minutes as needed.
