Cheesy Beef Bacon Ranch Monkey Bread (Printable)

Savory biscuit dough pieces tossed with seasoned beef, bacon, melted cheese, and ranch seasoning. Baked until golden and gooey.

# What You'll Need:

→ Meats

01 - 7 oz lean ground beef
02 - 5 oz cooked bacon, crumbled

→ Bread & Dairy

03 - 2 cans (28 oz total) refrigerated biscuit dough
04 - 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
05 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

→ Seasonings & Garnishes

06 - 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
07 - 2 spring onions, finely sliced
08 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
09 - Salt and pepper, to taste

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a bundt pan or tube pan generously with nonstick spray or softened butter.
02 - In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked and no pink remains. Drain any excess fat, season lightly with salt and pepper, then set aside to cool slightly.
03 - Open the cans of refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. Transfer all pieces to a large mixing bowl.
04 - Add the cooked beef, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning mix, and melted butter to the bowl with the biscuit pieces. Gently toss everything together until all pieces are evenly coated and the fillings are well distributed.
05 - Transfer the mixture evenly into the prepared bundt pan, pressing lightly to pack. Sprinkle the sliced spring onions and chopped parsley over the top.
06 - Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is a deep golden brown and the bread is cooked through completely.
07 - Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm in pull-apart style.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It disappears faster than anything else on the snack table, guaranteed.
  • The combination of melted cheddar, crispy bacon, and ranch seasoning is almost unfairly good.
  • Pulling apart warm bread loaded with beef and cheese feels like the best kind of comfort food chaos.
02 -
  • Do not skip the cooling step or the bread will fall apart when you flip it.
  • If your bundt pan has a removable center, line the bottom with parchment for extra insurance against sticking.
03 -
  • Use your hands to toss the mixture together because a spoon will not coat the biscuit pieces evenly enough.
  • Let the beef cool for a few minutes before mixing so it does not melt the cheese prematurely and make everything gummy.
