Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough or pizza dough
- 12 small cooked meatballs (homemade or store-bought)
- 12 small cubes of mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Marinara sauce, for serving
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the dough: Separate the biscuit dough or cut the pizza dough into 12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece slightly to form small rounds.
- Assemble the bombs: Place a meatball and a cube of mozzarella in the center of each dough round. Carefully fold the dough around the meatball and cheese, pinching the seams tightly to seal. Roll gently to form a smooth ball.
- Brush with butter and season: Place the dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush the tops of the dough balls with the seasoned butter, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Let the Cheesy Meatball Bombs cool for a few minutes, then serve them warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Enjoy your Cheesy Meatball Bombs, an irresistible combination of savory meatballs and melty cheese wrapped in golden dough, perfect for any occasion!
