-
Prepare the Biscuits: Open the can of refrigerated layer biscuits and separate the dough into 8 individual biscuits.

Layer the Biscuits: Carefully split each biscuit into two layers, creating a total of 16 biscuit rounds.

Form the Rounds: Use your hands to press each biscuit layer into a round shape, aiming for approximately 3 inches in diameter to accommodate the filling.

Seal the Biscuits: Gently wrap the biscuit dough around the meatball and cheese, pressing the edges together firmly to seal the filling inside.

Season the Biscuits: Sprinkle the biscuits evenly with the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder, adding a burst of flavor to each bite.

Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked through, ensuring they are no longer doughy in the center.
