Ingredients

For the Taco Bombs:

  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend)
  • 1 (8 oz) can crescent dough sheets (or biscuits)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup diced onions & bell peppers
  • ¼ cup water (for taco seasoning)

For Topping (Optional):

  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • ¼ cup sliced jalapeños
  • ½ cup shredded lettuce
  • Sour cream & salsa for dipping

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Filling

  1. In a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add onions, bell peppers, taco seasoning, and water. Cook for 3-4 minutes until veggies soften. Remove from heat.

Step 2: Assemble the Bombs

  1. Unroll crescent dough and cut into 8 squares (or use biscuit dough flattened into circles).
  2. Place a spoonful of beef mixture and a pinch of cheese in the center of each dough piece.
  3. Fold edges over, pinching to seal into balls.

Step 3: Bake to Perfection

  1. Arrange stuffed dough balls in the same skillet (or a greased baking dish).
  2. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown.
  3. Top with extra cheese and broil for 1-2 minutes (optional).

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!

  • Garnish with lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeños, and a dollop of sour cream.
  • Serve with guacamole, salsa, or queso for dipping.

Tips for the Best Taco Bombs

🔹 Seal Tightly – Pinch dough well to prevent cheese leaks.
🔹 Spice It Up – Add hot sauce or diced green chiles to the filling.
🔹 Make Ahead – Assemble unbaked bombs and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.

Serving Suggestions
