Ingredients

1 tube (8) refrigerated biscuit dough
1 can (8 oz) tuna drained
3 tablespoons mayonnaise enough to coat the tuna
½ teaspoon salt to taste
¼ teaspoon pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon mustard powder
2 tablespoons green onions thinly sliced
¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons butter melted
1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or cooking spray and set aside.
Drain the can of tuna and dump the contents into a bowl. Add mayonnaise, salt, pepper, garlic powder, mustard powder, green onions, and cheddar cheese. Set aside.
Grab 1 biscuit and flatten it until it is about ¼ of an inch thick. Add a few tablespoons of your tuna mixture to the center of the dough. Bring the edges of the dough together and pinch all of your edges to seal into a ball.
Place each of your tuna bombs into your prepared pan with the edges at the bottom. Brush the tops with melted butter, then sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake until your biscuits are golden brown, between 18 and 22 minutes. Serve warm.

Notes

Pinch the edges of the biscuit tightly to seal. It’s easier if the biscuits and filling aren’t cold—let them sit at room temp for a few minutes, so they’re more flexible and less likely to leak in the oven.
When you open the canned tuna, drain it really well. Too much moisture can make the biscuits soggy.
Use about a heaping tablespoon of filling per biscuit. Any more and they’ll be harder to seal and more likely to burst open in the oven.
