Make sure to handle the dough gently, and avoid overworking it. Knead it only until combined.

Increase the amount of garlic powder in the beef mixture or add minced garlic to the melted butter for a more intense garlic flavor.
What other cheeses can I use in this recipe?
Mozzarella, pepper jack, or a blend of your favorite cheeses would work well in these bombs.

Ensure that the edges of the biscuit dough are tightly sealed to prevent them from opening during baking.
Can I make these bombs ahead of time?
