Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley, divided
- 8 garlic cloves, minced, divided
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound cubed mozzarella cheese
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough
- 4 Tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Marinara sauce for dipping
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°F.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, half of the parsley, 1 Tablespoon of the minced garlic, half of the Parmesan cheese and the salt and pepper.
Roll the meatball mixture into balls and press a cube of mozzarella into the center. Seal the meat around the cheese and place the meatball on a nonstick baking sheet.
Cook the meatballs in the oven until just browned, about 6-8 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and let the meatballs sit until cool enough to handle.
Meanwhile, open the refrigerated biscuit dough. Split each biscuit in half horizontally by peeling apart the layers.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a small bowl in the center. Arrange the biscuit-wrapped meatballs around the bowl. Remove the bowl and bake until golden, about 10-12 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Italian seasoning and remaining garlic. Brush generously over the biscuits. Return to the oven for 5 more minutes.
Sprinkle the meatball bombs with the remaining parmesan cheese and parsley. Place a small bowl of marinara sauce in the center for dipping. Serve warm.
