Ingredients
For the Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs:
-
1 pound ground beef (80/20 is ideal for juicy bombs)
-
1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking beef)
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
-
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (you can also use pizza dough for a flakier texture)
-
1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
-
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (for garlic-parmesan topping)
-
2 teaspoons garlic powder (for topping)
-
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef to the pan. Break it apart using a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook the beef until it is browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. As the beef cooks, season it with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine the seasoning with the beef.
Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the heat and drain any excess fat. Set the beef aside to cool slightly while you prepare the dough and other ingredients.
While the beef is cooling, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to make cleanup easier and prevent the bombs from sticking.
Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Use your hands to flatten each biscuit into a small circle, roughly 4-5 inches in diameter. Be careful not to tear the dough, as it will need to hold the beef and cheese inside.
Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the cooked ground beef onto the center of each flattened biscuit. Top the beef with a generous tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese. If desired, you can add any additional toppings at this point, such as pickles, diced onions, or even crumbled bacon for extra flavor.
Once the beef and cheese are in the center, carefully fold the dough around the filling, pinching the edges together to seal the bomb. Make sure the filling is securely enclosed in the dough to prevent any leakage during baking.
Place each filled cheeseburger bomb onto the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Brush each bomb with melted butter using a pastry brush to ensure the garlic-parmesan topping will stick and give them a golden finish.
In a small bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese and garlic powder. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the top of each cheeseburger bomb for added flavor and a crispy, cheesy crust.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cheeseburger bombs for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The dough should be puffed up, and the cheese should be melted and bubbling inside.
If you notice that the tops of the bombs are browning too quickly, you can cover them with aluminum foil for the last few minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
Once the cheeseburger bombs are golden and cooked through, remove them from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. If desired, garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra freshness.
Serve the bombs as-is or with a side of ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce. These Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are perfect for dipping, snacking, or enjoying as part of a meal.
