Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated jumbo buttermilk biscuits (8 count)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or a Mexican blend
  • to serve salsa
  • to serve sour cream
  • to serve chopped cilantro
  • to serve diced avocado

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Baking sheet
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Parchment paper Optional
  • Measuring cups/spoons

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon.
  2. Drain any excess grease and add the taco seasoning and water, stirring well.
  3. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Separate the biscuits and flatten each into a circle about 4-5 inches wide.
  6. Place a heaping tablespoon of cooled taco beef in the center of each biscuit and top with a pinch of shredded cheese.
  7. Gather the edges of the biscuit dough over the filling, pinch and twist to seal tightly.
  8. Place the bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 13-16 minutes until golden brown, then let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Don’t overfill the bombs to avoid bursting during baking. Seal the bombs tightly for the best results. Let the cooked beef cool before assembling to prevent sogginess. Get creative with add-ins like black beans, corn, or diced green chiles. For reheating leftovers, use the oven or air fryer for the best texture. If freezing, bake from frozen with extra time added.
