Easy Cheesy Meatball Bombs are great for an appetizer, snack, or meal. Biscuits stuffed with meatballs and cheese has to be a winner!
Phew, it has been one busy week around these parts. Lots of play dates and company visiting, we have been having fun. Too much fun though because I have not had time to go to the grocery store and get all of my normal things done around the house. That’s ok though, won’t be the first or last time I have 3 loads of laundry laying on the laundry room floor. 🙂
That’s why sometimes I just need a quick meal/snack that I know the family will love and doesn’t take much time, thought, or ingredients. Insert the wonderfully cheesy meatball bomb or biscuit if you prefer. These things really are “the bomb” and one of my new favorite things. All you need are some biscuits, I like the Pillsbury Grands, some meatballs, cheese and a little pizza sauce.
Flatten the biscuit on your work surface, add half of a meatball and a piece of the string cheese. Now pinch up the sides of the biscuit and roll it up. Place in a cake pan and drizzle with melted butter seasoned with Italian seasoning and garlic powder (I melted to butter in the microwave). Bake em up and prepare yourself for a cheesy, meaty ball of goodness.
Seriously, these are SO GOOD! They are kind of like a little meatball sub. You can serve them with your favorite homemade or store bought marinara sauce.

Can you make these ahead of time and bake them later?
Hi Sandy, I think you could make them the day before and they would be ok. I would hold off putting the butter on until right before you bake them.
These were easy to make and very delicious. Next time I will divide the dough in 1/2 (too much breading) and use a whole meatball. They would be great with some spinach and ricotta too, a lasagna bomb!
I love the idea of a lasagna bomb! That sounds great!
In a word ‘YUM’ these look so tempting and I’m hungry at the moment so could certainly eat a few of these. Thanks for sharing with us at Over the Moon.
These look awesome – and I love how easy they are! Is it weird that I kind of want some for breakfast right now?
Thank you! They are soo tasty. I would totally have them for breakfast 🙂 Actually that is a great idea. I need to make a breakfast biscuit bomb!
