These irresistible Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs combine juicy seasoned ground beef and melty cheddar cheese wrapped in soft biscuit dough, brushed with garlic butter and topped with parmesan and parsley for a deliciously savory appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheeseburger Filling

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

Dough and Toppings

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count; homemade or pizza dough can be substituted)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (olive oil can be used as a dairy-free alternative)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (Pecorino Romano can be used for sharper taste)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Cook beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 pound of ground beef and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat, then stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly so it doesn’t melt the biscuit dough prematurely.
  3. Prepare dough: Flatten each of the 8 biscuit dough rounds into circles approximately 3 inches wide to create enough space for the filling.
  4. Fill dough: Spoon a generous amount of the cooled beef mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit. Place one cube of cheddar cheese on top of the beef filling for that delicious melty center.
  5. Seal bombs: Fold the edges of the biscuit dough up and over the filling, pinching them tightly to seal and then roll each into a smooth ball to evenly encase the filling.
  6. Arrange on sheet: Place the sealed dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for expansion during baking.
  7. Make garlic butter: Melt the butter over low heat and add the minced garlic. Stir until fragrant to infuse the butter with a rich garlic flavor.
  8. Brush dough balls: Generously brush each dough ball with the garlic butter mixture to add flavor and encourage golden browning.
  9. Add toppings: Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley evenly over the tops of the garlic buttered dough balls for a savory finish.
  10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through. Watch closely toward the end to avoid over-baking.
  11. Serve: Let the cheeseburger bombs cool slightly before serving warm. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauces for an extra treat.

Notes

  • Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version of the beef filling.
  • Fresh garlic can replace garlic powder; 1 clove fresh garlic ≈ 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder.
  • Chopped fresh onion can substitute onion powder but be mindful of added moisture.
  • Olive oil can be used instead of butter for a dairy-free option in the garlic butter brush.
  • Try different cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for varying flavors.
  • Serve with ketchup, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauces to complement the flavors.
