🛒 Ingredients
Filling:
1 lb ground beef
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite melty cheese)
Dough:
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (or pizza dough)
Topping:
3 tbsp butter, melted
1 tbsp garlic powder
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
👨🍳 How to Make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
🍖 Step 1: Cook the Ground Beef Filling
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until fully browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
Drain any excess fat and season the beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Once the beef is cooked and seasoned, remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts and combines with the beef. Set aside to cool slightly.
🍞 Step 2: Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Roll out the biscuit dough (or pizza dough) on a flat surface. If using biscuit dough, separate each biscuit and flatten it out into a circle about 4 inches in diameter. If using pizza dough, roll it into a large square and cut it into small squares (about 3×3 inches).
🧀 Step 3: Assemble the Bombs
Take a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture and place it in the center of each dough circle or square.
Carefully fold the dough around the filling, pinching the edges together to seal. Make sure the filling is fully enclosed in the dough.
Place each bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
🍳 Step 4: Brush with Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese.
Brush the tops of each cheeseburger bomb with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring that the tops are well coated.
🔥 Step 5: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling inside.
🌿 Step 6: Garnish & Serve
Once baked, remove the bombs from the oven and brush with a little more garlic butter if you like them extra garlicky.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired for a pop of color.
💡 Tips & Tricks
🍔 Beef Alternatives:
You can use ground turkey or ground chicken instead of beef for a lighter version.
If you prefer a spicier kick, add some jalapeños or hot sauce to the beef mixture.
🧀 Cheese Options:
Mozzarella or pepper jack cheese can also work well for a different cheesy flavor.
You can even mix different cheeses like cheddar and Swiss for variety.
🍞 Dough Options:
If you’re looking for a quicker alternative, puff pastry or crescent roll dough will also work great for an extra flaky texture.
For a healthier version, you can try using whole wheat dough or gluten-free biscuit dough.
🍴 Serve With:
These Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are perfect on their own, but you can serve them with ketchup, mustard, or even a creamy ranch dip on the side for extra flavor!
🧺 Meal Prep & Storage
🧊 Make-Ahead:
You can assemble these bombs and store them in the fridge for up to 1 day before baking. This is great if you want to prepare them ahead of time for a party or gathering.
🏷️ Storage:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
🧊 Freezing:
You can also freeze the unbaked bombs for up to 2 months. Just freeze them on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to bake, just pop them directly in the oven—no thawing needed! Bake for about 30–35 minutes from frozen.
