Meatball Stuffed Biscuits

These meatball stuffed biscuits are a flaky treat with a meaty surprise in the center. If you love meatball recipes, this is sure to become a favorite! Much like my stuffed mushrooms, they are perfect for game days when you have friends and family over, or they make a great grab and go dinner for soccer nights!

Stuffed biscuits are one of those kind of dishes that look fancy but are actually really simple. It’s also an easy recipe to double or triple, making it ideal for large family gatherings (or for when everyone asks for seconds!). Serve these delectable little treats with your favorite marinara sauce for a delicious appetizer. When I made these the kids devoured them, so I could see preparing these ahead of time, then before you head out to soccer or football practice (especially on those chilly, rainy nights we’ve all sat through as sports parents!) bake them up and toss them into paper lunch bags. Bring along a container of warm marinara and they are perfect for a grab and go dinner.

Making Meatball Stuffed Biscuits

This recipe is slightly adapted from Pillsbury’s Meatball Bubble Biscuits. They use pre-cooked meatballs for the sake of ease, but you could also use any of your favorite meatball recipes as the filling. This recipe also calls for string cheese, but if you have bulk or shredded Mozzarella that works too. Check out the video below to see the making of these meatball stuffed biscuits!
