- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp chili powder (optional)

Optional Toppings

🔥 Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Cook the Beef Filling
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add oil (only if needed), then add chopped onions.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes until onions soften.
- Add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
- Add ground beef and break it up with a spoon.
- Cook until beef is fully browned and no pink remains.
- Sprinkle in salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, and oregano.
- Stir well and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Stir in shredded cheese once cooled (important so it doesn’t melt too fast).
Step 2: Prepare the Biscuit Dough
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate biscuit dough into individual biscuits.
- Gently flatten each biscuit into a 4–5 inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
Step 3: Stuff the Biscuits
- Place 2 tablespoons of beef filling in the center of each dough circle.
- Carefully pull the edges up around the filling.
- Pinch the seams tightly to seal.
- Place the biscuit seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Step 4: Add Topping (Optional but Delicious)
- Mix melted butter with garlic powder.
- Brush lightly over each biscuit.
- Sprinkle with parsley if using.
Step 5: Bake
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until biscuits are:
- Golden brown on top
- Fully cooked on the bottom
- Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
🍽️ Serving Ideas

💡 Tips for Success
