Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs Recipe: An Easy, Flavorful Family Favorite

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef – You can use lean beef or whatever you have on hand. I tend to go for a mix with a little bit of fat for flavor. The fat helps keep the beef moist so don’t skimp on this.
  • 1 packet of garlic butter biscuit dough – This is the shortcut to making these cheeseburger bombs extra easy and super delicious. If you can find it grab the one with a bit of seasoning for an extra boost. The garlic butter biscuit dough makes the recipe come together in no time and adds flavor that complements the cheeseburger filling.
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese – The gooey cheese is a must for these bombs. You want it to melt perfectly inside. Mozzarella gives it that stretchy cheesy texture that makes every bite so satisfying.
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese – This adds a salty savory kick that really makes these bombs stand out. Parmesan isn’t just for sprinkling on pasta; it adds a great umami flavor to these cheeseburger bombs.
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder – For that rich garlicky flavor that takes these from good to amazing. If you’re a garlic lover like me, you can even add a little extra!
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce – This adds that deep savory flavor to the beef. It’s optional, but trust me, it makes a difference. It adds an extra layer of flavor that makes the beef taste like a gourmet burger.
  • Salt and pepper – Just to taste. These are the basics that bring everything together. Don’t be shy with the seasoning—it really makes a difference!

Instructions
 

Step 1: Cook the Ground Beef

  • Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until it’s browned all the way through. Break it up into small crumbles as it cooks so you get nice, even pieces. If you’ve ever made regular burgers, you know the drill. Once it’s cooked, drain any excess grease (unless you want to keep it for flavor, which is totally up to you).
  • I like to use a spoon to press down on the beef to help it brown more evenly, and that’s when the best flavors come out. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Give it a good mix and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes so the flavors can meld together. Once it’s done, set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Prepare the Biscuit Dough

  • Next, open up that can of biscuit dough. I know, the sound of popping the can is always a little bit satisfying, isn’t it? Gently roll each biscuit into a flat circle using your hands or a rolling pin. You don’t need them to be perfect; just make sure they’re large enough to hold all that yummy beef and cheese.
  • Here’s a fun tip: if you’re in a rush, you can skip the rolling pin and just use your hands to flatten the dough. The biscuit dough is pretty forgiving, so you don’t have to worry too much about making each one the same size.

Step 3: Assemble the Cheeseburger Bombs

  • Now comes the fun part—assembling your cheeseburger bombs! Take each flattened biscuit and spoon a small amount of cooked beef into the center. Top it with some shredded mozzarella and a sprinkle of parmesan. You can even add a few little extras like pickles, onions, or bacon to make them even more exciting—this is your recipe, so feel free to get creative!
  • Then, carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the filling, pinching the seams to seal them. You want to make sure the filling is completely wrapped up so nothing spills out while baking. It’s like making a little doughy pocket of cheeseburger goodness!

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the filled dough balls onto a greased baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. If you like, you can brush the tops with a little melted butter and sprinkle some extra parmesan over them for that golden, crispy finish. You can even add a pinch of garlic powder to make the tops extra savory.
  • Pop them in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. You’ll know they’re done when they smell amazing (trust me, you won’t be able to resist!).

Step 5: Enjoy!

  • Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before diving in. These little cheeseburger bombs are best served warm, straight from the oven. You can dip them in ketchup, mustard, or your favorite burger sauce for even more flavor. Enjoy!
