• 1 tsp onion powder: Balances the beef’s savory notes.
• Salt and pepper: To taste.
• 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough: Makes this recipe super convenient.
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese: For a cheesy topping.
• 2 tbsp butter, melted: Helps the Parmesan stick and adds richness.
• Fresh parsley, chopped: For garnish and a pop of color.

Tools You’ll Need

Skillet: To cook the beef mixture.
Baking Sheet: Line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Rolling Pin: Optional, for flattening the biscuit dough.
Brush: To apply the garlic butter mixture.

Ingredient Additions and Substitutions

Swap the meat: Try ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.

How to Make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

Follow these simple steps to create these irresistible cheesy bombs:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Cook the Beef Mixture

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, then stir in the cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Biscuit Dough

Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate it into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a circle large enough to hold the filling.

Step 4: Assemble the Cheeseburger Bombs

Place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges tightly to seal completely.

Step 5: Add the Garlic Parmesan Topping

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the grated Parmesan cheese. Brush the tops of the sealed bombs generously with the garlic Parmesan mixture.

Step 6: Bake to Golden Perfection

Arrange the bombs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

Let the bombs cool slightly before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

What to Serve with Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

These bombs are versatile and pair well with:

Dipping Sauces: Serve with ketchup, ranch, marinara, or garlic aioli for added flavor.
Salad: A fresh garden salad or coleslaw balances the richness of the bombs.
Soup: Pair with tomato soup or a hearty beef stew for a complete meal.

Tips for Perfect Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

Seal Tightly: Ensure the edges of the dough are pinched tightly to prevent the filling from leaking.
Don’t Overfill: A heaping tablespoon of filling is just right for each bomb.
Cool Slightly: Let the bombs cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid burns from the hot filling.

Storage Instructions

Refrigerate: Store leftover bombs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat: Warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes to regain their crispy texture.
Freeze: Freeze uncooked bombs for up to 3 months. Bake straight from frozen, adding 5-7 minutes to the cook time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use homemade biscuit dough?

Absolutely! Homemade biscuit dough works wonderfully if you have the time.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the bombs up to the baking step, refrigerate them, and bake when ready.

Are there vegetarian options?

Swap the ground beef for plant-based meat or a mixture of sautéed mushrooms and onions for a vegetarian version.
