How to Make Loaded Bourbon Biscuit Bombs Pockets With Smoky BBQ Glaze

Then, brown the ground beef and sauté the aromatic onions and garlic, creating a savory foundation for the biscuit bombs. Roll out the biscuit dough and divide it into individual portions. Stuff each piece with the beef mixture and shredded cheese, then seal them tightly. Bake the biscuit bombs until they’re golden and irresistibly crispy on the outside.
