Ingredients

For the Filling:

• ½ lb lean ground beef (96% lean recommended)
• ¼ cup finely chopped onion
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• ½ cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

For the Dough:

• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt

For the Garlic Parmesan Topping:

• 1 tbsp light butter, melted
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and onions until beef is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in cheddar cheese and remove from heat to cool slightly.

Make the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Stir until a dough forms, then knead lightly on a floured surface until smooth.

Assemble the Bombs
Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a circle and place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center. Fold edges over and pinch to seal, forming a ball. Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Add the Topping
In a small bowl, mix melted butter and minced garlic. Brush over the tops of each bomb. Sprinkle with grated parmesan and parsley.

Bake
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
