Ingredients

Scale

Filling

1 lb ground beef (lean or regular)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Dough & Topping

1 (8 oz) can Pillsbury crescent roll dough
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Prepare the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat, then stir in minced garlic, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and mix in shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese to create a gooey, flavorful filling.
Assemble the Bombs: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into triangles. Spoon an even amount of the beef and cheese mixture onto the wider end of each triangle. Roll the dough tightly around the filling, pinching the edges firmly to seal and form small bombs.
Prep for Baking: Place the assembled bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Melt butter and mix it with chopped fresh parsley, then brush the tops evenly to create a golden, garlicky crust.
Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the bombs for 12–15 minutes until the dough is golden brown and cooked through. Let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes before serving to maximize cheesy deliciousness and avoid burns.

Notes

Don’t overfill: Keep the filling portion moderate to prevent leaks during baking.
Seal edges firmly: Pinch the dough tightly to ensure the bombs stay sealed and form a perfect pocket.
Use fresh garlic: It greatly enhances flavor compared to garlic powder alone.
Brush with butter: Garlic-parsley butter on top adds irresistible color and richness.
Rest before serving: Allow bombs to cool 5 minutes to avoid burned tongues and improve texture.
