Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make your Kielbasa Biscuit Bombs:

For the Kielbasa Biscuit Bombs:

• 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough (usually 8 biscuits)
• 1 lb kielbasa sausage (cut into small, bite-sized pieces)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: Chopped parsley for garnish

Ingredient Highlights

• Kielbasa: The heart and soul of this recipe, kielbasa adds a smoky, savory flavor that pairs perfectly with the buttery biscuit dough.
• Cheddar Cheese: Melted cheese inside each biscuit adds a gooey, delicious surprise and enhances the flavor profile.
• Garlic Powder and Onion Powder: These seasonings provide a savory base that complements the richness of the sausage.

• Fresh Parsley: Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and a fresh note.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Kielbasa Biscuit Bombs:

Prepare the Ingredients

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Kielbasa: Cut the kielbasa into small, bite-sized pieces. If you prefer a more intense flavor, you can brown the kielbasa in a skillet for 5-7 minutes until it’s crispy on the edges, but it’s optional.
3. Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your fingers to create a small round shape, large enough to wrap around the kielbasa.

Assemble the Biscuit Bombs

1. Add the Filling: Place 1-2 pieces of kielbasa in the center of each flattened biscuit. Top with a small sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
2. Form the Bombs: Carefully fold the sides of the biscuit dough over the kielbasa and cheese, pinching the edges together to seal the filling inside. Make sure the edges are well sealed to prevent the filling from spilling out during baking.
3. Brush with Butter: Place the biscuit bombs on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Brush each bomb with melted butter to enhance the flavor and give the biscuits a golden finish. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the top for extra seasoning.

Bake the Kielbasa Biscuit Bombs

1. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through.
2. Cool: Once they’re done baking, remove the kielbasa biscuit bombs from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving.

Serve and Enjoy

1. Serve: Arrange your Kielbasa Biscuit Bombs on a platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, mustard, or BBQ sauce, for added flavor.
2. Dig In: Grab one (or two!) and enjoy the crispy, cheesy, savory goodness. These little bombs are perfect for snacking, appetizers, or even a quick meal.

How to Serve

Here are some fun and creative ways to serve your Kielbasa Biscuit Bombs:

1. Serve with Dipping Sauces: Offer a variety of dipping sauces such as mustard, ranch, barbecue, or even a spicy aioli.
2. Create a Snack Platter: Arrange these biscuit bombs alongside other appetizers like mini sliders, cheese platters, and veggies for a complete spread.
3. Pair with Drinks: These are perfect to pair with beer, wine, or a fun mocktail for a casual get-together.
4. As a Party Appetizer: Serve them at your next party or gathering for an irresistible appetizer that will have guests coming back for more.
5. Family Dinner: Pair these with a simple side salad or some roasted vegetables for a quick, satisfying dinner.

Additional Tips

Maximize your enjoyment of Kielbasa Biscuit Bombs with these helpful tips:

1. Try Different Sausages: While kielbasa is a classic choice, feel free to experiment with other sausages like Italian sausage or chorizo for different flavor profiles.
2. Add Veggies: For a more balanced bite, add some sautéed onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms to the filling.
3. Make It Spicy: For a kick of heat, add some sliced jalapeños or sprinkle red pepper flakes inside the biscuit before sealing.
4. Use Flaky Biscuits: For an extra flaky and buttery result, opt for a high-quality flaky biscuit dough.
5. Bake Ahead: These can be assembled and stored in the fridge for up to 12 hours before baking, making them a great option for meal prep or a quick dinner.
6. Mini Versions: If you’re serving these as finger food or appetizers, make mini versions using smaller biscuit dough pieces.
7. Customize the Cheese: While cheddar is a classic choice, try experimenting with mozzarella, pepper jack, or gouda for a different twist.
