Introduction

These irresistibly cheesy garlic Parmesan cheeseburger bombs are a fun and flavorful twist on your classic cheeseburger. Packed with seasoned ground beef and melted cheddar, wrapped in buttery garlic biscuit dough, they make a perfect appetizer or snack for any occasion.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (Ground turkey or chicken can be used for a lighter option.)
• 8 cubes cheddar cheese (Any melty cheese like Monterey Jack or pepper jack can be used.)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (Fresh garlic can replace this, with 1 clove equaling about 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder.)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder (Substitute with chopped fresh onion, but reduce moisture content.)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (Adjust based on taste preference or dietary needs.)
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (White pepper may be used for a subtler spice.)
• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count) (Homemade dough or pizza dough can be used for a fresher touch.)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (Olive oil can work as a dairy-free alternative.)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (Adjust to taste if preferred milder.)
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (Use Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (Can be omitted if not available.)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a skillet, add ground beef and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat and stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Let cool slightly.
3. Step 3: Flatten each of the 8 biscuit dough rounds into circles about 3 inches wide.
4. Step 4: Spoon a generous amount of the cooled beef mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit and top with a cube of cheddar cheese.
5. Step 5: Fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the filling, pinching them together to seal. Roll each into a smooth ball.
6. Step 6: Place the sealed dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart.
7. Step 7: Melt butter over low heat and stir in minced garlic. Brush this garlic butter over each dough ball.
8. Step 8: Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley over the tops of the dough balls.
9. Step 9: Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown, watching carefully to avoid over-baking.
10. Step 10: Let cool slightly, then serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Tips & Variations

• For a lighter option, substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef.
• Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder to boost flavor; about 1 clove equals 1/8 teaspoon of powder.
• Try different melty cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for some variation.
• If you prefer dairy-free, brush with olive oil instead of butter and omit parmesan or use a vegan alternative.
• Make sure to seal the biscuit dough tightly to prevent filling from leaking during baking.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through to keep the crust crispy. These are best enjoyed fresh but can be frozen before baking for up to 1 month; bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

For the Cheeseburger Filling

• 1 pound ground beef (Ground turkey or chicken can be used for a lighter option)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 clove fresh garlic, minced)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder (or chopped fresh onion, drained)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 cubes cheddar cheese (Any melty cheese like Monterey Jack or pepper jack can be used)

For the Dough & Topping

• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count) (Homemade dough or pizza dough can be substituted)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (Olive oil as a dairy-free alternative)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (Or Pecorino Romano for sharper taste)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (Optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
2. Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook 1 pound of ground beef until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat, then stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture cool slightly to make handling easier.
3. Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Flatten each of the 8 biscuit dough rounds into circles approximately 3 inches wide, creating enough space to wrap around the filling.
4. Assemble the Bombs: Spoon a generous amount of the cooled beef mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit dough circle, then place a cube of cheddar cheese on top of the meat.
5. Seal the Dough: Fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the filling, pinching the edges tightly to seal and then rolling into smooth balls to encase the filling completely.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each sealed dough ball seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow room for expansion during baking.
7. Prepare Garlic Butter: Melt the butter over low heat and stir in the minced garlic to infuse the butter with flavor.
8. Brush Garlic Butter: Generously brush each dough ball with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring even coverage for flavor and browning.
9. Add Parmesan and Parsley: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of each dough ball, followed by the chopped fresh parsley for color and freshness.
10. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through. Monitor closely to avoid over-baking.
11. Serve Warm: Allow the cheeseburger bombs to cool slightly before serving warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

• You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter alternative.

• Homemade biscuit or pizza dough can be used to create a fresher taste instead of refrigerated biscuit dough.
• Olive oil can be used instead of butter for a dairy-free option.
• Try different cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for varied flavors.
• Ensure dough is sealed well to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
• Serve with dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or ranch for extra flavor.
