Today, I have another “cheater” recipe for you… super easy, cheesy pull-apart biscuit bites that are the perfect appetizer for game days, holidays, dinner parties, or any time really. These biscuit bites are baked in a cupcake tin giving them a golden, slightly crunchy outer crust. When you pull them apart you get small cheesy and delicious individual bites topped with all your favorite tasty toppings.
If you’re new here, a “cheater” recipe includes some sort of shortcut, making it easier to whip up when you’re in a rush. In today’s recipe, the “cheater” component is a can of Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits, which will be cut up, stuffed with cheese, and dipped in a seasoned butter mixture to make these cheesy, garlicky, completely yummy pull-apart biscuit bites.
Now that your mouth is watering, let’s get into this recipe!
Cheesy Pull-Apart Biscuit Bites

Biscuit Balls

Toppings (See Note 2 below)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Grease a regular cupcake tin and set aside. (See Note 3 below)

Stir until well combined.1 stick salted butter, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 ½ tsp white pizza mojo seasoning, 1 heaping tbsp. Kraft parmesan cheese
- Cut each Grands! biscuit into 8 equal pieces. Tuck one tiny cube of cheese into each biscuit piece and pinch the dough together to seal. Roll lightly between your palms to form each cheese-stuffed biscuit piece into a ball shape.1 can Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits, 3 - 3.5 oz. brick cheese cut into 64 small cubes

I sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of grated Tillamook cheddar cheese and a bit of diced pepperoni on each biscuit bite before placing about one tablespoon of sliced pickled peppers on top.1 cup grated Tillamook medium cheddar cheese, 3 - 4 pieces pepperoni, Approx. 1 cup sliced pickled peppers
- Bake the biscuit bites for 11 minutes at 400°F. The cheese should be melty and the edges should be golden when they are done, as seen below.
