Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound ground beef
Cheese:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Other Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) chopped parsley
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375F, preparing a parchment-lined baking sheet for the cheeseburger bombs.
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until fully cooked.
- Incorporate cheddar cheese into the meat mixture, stirring until completely melted and blended.
- Take each biscuit dough piece and gently flatten it into a thin circular shape.
- Spoon a generous portion of the beef and cheese mixture into the center of each flattened dough.
- Carefully fold and pinch the edges of the dough, creating a sealed spherical shape to prevent filling from leaking.
- Arrange the formed balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
- Create a savory topping by combining melted butter, finely minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Generously brush the butter mixture over the surface of each dough ball, ensuring complete coverage.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the bombs turn a rich golden brown color.
- Optional: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top before serving for added freshness and color.
Notes
- Customize the meat blend by mixing ground beef with ground pork or turkey for varied flavor profiles and textures.
- Use low-fat cheese and lean ground meat to create a lighter version of these delicious bombs for health-conscious individuals.
- Make these freezer-friendly by preparing and freezing uncooked bombs, then baking directly from frozen with an extra 5-7 minutes of cooking time.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations like mozzarella, Swiss, or pepper jack to add exciting taste variations to the classic recipe.
