Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard optional
  • 1 tbsp ketchup optional
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can biscuit dough 8-count jumbo style
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • Chopped parsley for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Cook the Beef
    Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain excess fat, then season with onion powder, salt, pepper, and (optional) a splash of mustard and ketchup for a classic cheeseburger kick. Stir in cheddar cheese and remove from heat.
  • Step 2: Prep the Dough
    Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch round. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the cheeseburger filling into the center. Fold edges up and pinch to seal into a ball.
  • Step 3: Garlic Butter Topping
    In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, and Parmesan cheese. Brush each sealed biscuit ball generously with the garlic-Parmesan mixture.
  • Step 4: Bake
    Place bombs seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 375°F for 13–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Step 5: Garnish and Serve
    Optional: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and an extra pinch of Parmesan. Serve hot with ketchup, mustard, or ranch on the side.

Notes

Secret Tips for Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

1. Use quality ground beef: A juicy cheeseburger bomb starts with flavorful beef. Go for 80/20 ground beef so the filling stays moist and rich, balancing perfectly with the garlic butter topping.
2. Season the meat well: Don’t just rely on cheese for flavor—add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and a touch of paprika to make the cheeseburger filling irresistible.
3. Choose melty cheese: Mozzarella and cheddar are classics, but Parmesan inside adds a salty punch. The combination of garlic and Parmesan makes every bite taste like a gourmet stuffed cheeseburger.
4. Seal the dough tight: To avoid leaks, pinch the edges of the dough firmly and place the seam side down. This ensures your cheeseburger bombs bake up golden, cheesy, and full of flavor.
5. Don’t skip the garlic butter glaze: Brush each bomb generously with garlic butter and sprinkle with Parmesan before baking. This step gives them that signature cheesy crust and turns them into true comfort food perfection.
6. Serve with dipping sauces: Pair these garlic Parmesan cheeseburger bombs with marinara, ranch, or spicy aioli for a fun appetizer, game-day snack, or easy family dinner.
