  • Total Time: 48 minutes
  • Yield: 8 cheeseburger bombs

Ingredients

For the Cheeseburger Filling

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

For the Bombs

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (16.3 oz) – makes 8 biscuits

For the Garlic-Parmesan Butter

  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  2. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and minced garlic. Break up the beef as it cooks. Season with onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the beef is browned and fragrant.
  3. Drain and Mix Cheese: Drain off any excess grease from the skillet to maintain a clean flavor. Let the beef cool slightly, then stir in the shredded cheddar, shredded mozzarella, and softened cream cheese. Mix until all cheeses have melted into a gooey filling.
  4. Prepare Biscuit Dough: Flatten each biscuit dough piece into approximately a 4-inch circle. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the cheesy beef mixture into the center of each circle. Be careful not to overfill to prevent bursting during baking.
  5. Seal the Bombs: Gently pull the edges of the dough up around the filling and pinch firmly together at the top to seal. Place each sealed bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Chill the Bombs: Refrigerate the assembled bombs for about 15 minutes to help them hold their shape and bake evenly.
  7. Make Garlic-Parmesan Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, chopped fresh parsley, and garlic powder. Stir until well mixed.
  8. Brush with Garlic Butter and Bake: Generously brush the tops and sides of each bomb with the garlic Parmesan butter using a pastry brush. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the bombs to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. They are best enjoyed warm with gooey melted cheese inside.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overfill the biscuit dough to prevent them from bursting during baking.
  • Chilling the assembled bombs before baking helps maintain their shape and ensures even cooking.
  • Use fresh parsley for the best flavor in the garlic Parmesan butter.
  • Serve warm for the best gooey cheese experience.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
