Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are savory, bite-sized dough pockets filled with seasoned ground beef, onions, and melted cheddar cheese. Coated with a buttery garlic and Parmesan topping, these easy-to-make snacks are perfect for parties, game day, or a satisfying appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ cup onion, diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Dough

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough

Topping

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the cheeseburger bombs evenly and to a golden brown finish.
  2. Cook Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is fully browned and the onions are softened. Drain any excess grease to avoid soggy pockets.
  3. Season Filling: Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper into the beef mixture. Allow it to cool slightly before mixing in the shredded cheddar cheese so it melts subtly without overheating.
  4. Prepare Dough: Flatten each biscuit from the refrigerated dough to roughly 4 inches in diameter, creating a base to hold the filling securely.
  5. Assemble Bombs: Place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Carefully seal the edges by pinching them together, shaping each into a tight ball to keep the filling contained during baking.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the sealed balls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
  7. Add Topping: Brush each ball generously with the melted butter. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and dried parsley evenly over the tops to add flavor and a golden finish.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bombs are puffed and golden brown on the outside. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For crispier bombs, you can bake on a preheated baking stone or steel.
  • Substitute shredded mozzarella or pepper jack cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • These can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before baking; just add a few extra minutes to baking time if baking cold.
  • Serve with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauces for added taste.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
