Cheesy. Meatball. Biscuit. Bombs. There’s nothing I don’t love about the name of this recipe. These bad boys have a crispy, seasoned crust, ooey-gooey cheesy goodness, and a delicious, meaty center. Throw in some marinara sauce for dipping, and you’ve got an appetizer that’s sure to impress any crowd. Or, you can hoard them all to yourself. I get it. They really are that good.
While these Cheesy Meatball Biscuit Bombs may look laborious and complicated, they are actually quite simple to put together and toss in the oven to bake. This recipe is made easy by using fully cooked, frozen meatballs and canned, refrigerated biscuits.
Start by cutting each biscuit in half, for a total of 16 biscuits. Then, flatten out each one into a disk and layer on cheese and a thawed out meatball. Stretch the dough over the meatball and pinch to close it off.
Next, roll the little biscuit balls in some Italian season to give them that nice, crisp texture, then place each one into a slot in a muffin tin. Bake for 15-20 minutes and top with parmesan cheese and Italian parsley.
